Amazing value for $75 (Shipped!)
Does require a little set up... but with youtube and $10-$50 worth of stuff you can have an amazing (and amazingly cheap) guitar. I can't believe they can even ship it from Asia to USA and to my house for the price.

Does require a little set up... but with youtube and $10-$50 worth of stuff you can have an amazing (and amazingly cheap) guitar. I can't believe they can even ship it from Asia to USA and to my house for the price.
The tuners were really not good, but if patient, they are usable, I also replaced the nut, string tree and strings. Sanded the neck and frets. Set neck relief and intonation (free). Really pretty happy now.
You could buy only this guitar and a foam sanding block and steel wool ($5) and spend 30 min on youtube and be pretty happy.
On the flip side, if you aren't willing to try the set up (I'd never done one before... pretty simple if you watch a little youtube), you'd be better off with a $200 squire set up by a music store. With my effort I think I am all in about $125 and have a superior guitar with Fender American tuners, String trees, Tusq nut, Ernie Ball strings, smooth neck, good action, etc... I am really really happy.
