A 169¤ guitar isn't what it used to be
Let's face it. For 169¤ you won't get a perfect guitar. There are some flaws in the finish. The wooden binding which actually is an unpainted part of the thick maple top could had been done better. The masking before painting is a bit sloppy and at the top side cut out you can see part of the mahogany body in the "binding". There's also a small section of the binding that shows burn marks from the routing.The rosewood fretboard and the fitting of the frets are not visually top quality. You might get lucky and get a flawless guitar but I wouldn't count on it.
The big WOW comes when you pick up the guitar and plug it in. The way it feels and sounds is mind boggling. The sound this guitar offers shouldn't be possible at this price range. The mahogany body with the maple top and the WHHB humbuckers gives you a Les Paul kind of warm tone. The push-pull pot allows you to split the humbuckers into single coil pickups which makes the guitar very versatile. The guitar works for everything from classic rock/blues to metal. The wraparound bridge also delivers a great sustain. I never even contemplated that a bridge could be comfortable. Well it is. Try it and you'll understand. The neck is also very nice to play.
The rest of the hardware including tuning heads and pots feels like good quality. The action is acceptable. I might be able to lower it but it's low enough for me. There's no fret buzz either which usually is to expect from low budget guitars.
My rating is based solely on the performance of the guitar. The price tag of 169¤ is the big bonus. I doubt you'll find a better guitar for twice the money.
