Pros
Good package, nice looks and real potential.
Cons
Budget for a head-change if you're a tonehead.
The bottom line
There's real potential lurking in those shells, which means this isn't a kit that you will outgrow in a few months, and the hardware pack will certainly see you into a gigging career. So all in all, another welcome offering from the Big M. Just be sure to check out the flashier finishes if tree-lover brown isn't your thing.
