Semi Hollow Body Electric Guitar,TL Series Electric Guitar,3A Quilted Maple Top Veneer,Bridge, Flower Inlay(BULE)

I've been playing guitar for many years and if this was my first guitar I probably would be a better player. It arrived in perfect condition and is a great player without set up. Make sure to de tune the strings before adding the spring for the tremolo bar and then exercise the strings after re tuning. Mine stays in tune perfectly. Fit and finish on mine are perfect. The neck is smooth...the frets are filed and even. The finish is a beautiful yellow gold with bright silver hardware and amazing tailpiece. Pick ups sound good. Pick up volume and tone controls are a little different but make sense. Fret inlay is beautiful, but I need to retrain myself to use the neck dots. Action is low and fast on mine. For the money...this is an amazing guitar...in my opinion... and you have a choice of blue or yellow/gold..and it looks really cool. You also get a cheap gig bag, an extra set of strings and some picks. I'm a believer and if you have $230, Don't hesitate on this one.

Well made guitar. Good sound and easy to play right out the box. Nice feel to it. I actually ended up buying the blue one as well. Love the art work on guitar. I would definitely buy it in every color if it were available. Love this guitar. Definitely worth the money. Glad I purchased it.

At the time of this review, I bought this for 199 and that's about what I expected to get, so I wasn't too disappointed in what I received. It's a decent guitar, but don't expect some top of the line return for your money. It did come in really good shape, with no real blemishes or flaws and was packaged better than any guitar I've ever gotten in the mail. Everything was sealed in a molded foam coffin, inside a coarboard box. As for initial inspection taking it out and set up needed: The actual color was a pale yellow, not that bright vivid yellow in the pics. It's not a deal breaker, just different than I expected. The neck 'felt' a little rough. I ran a scrub pad up and down it a few times and that took care of it. I'm not a fan of the bare feel, but that's preference, not a knock on the guitar. The fret ends needed a little touch up. They weren't jagged, but a better job could have been done on them. Very minimal work. Everything was straight and true. The finish was well done and the fret board looked nice. I suppose I got a decent one. The action was higher than I like. I have to play around w adjusting the bridge and seeing if I can get it closer to suit my tastes. Initial issue is the frets are bigger than a baby's arm. It will be a compromise to be comfortable without buzzing them. Even as is though, it ISN'T horrible, just different. It feels like playing a mini acoustic compared to the action on my LP. The strings are trash. Just order new ones to go with it. I was hoping I wouldn't have to restring the Chigsby from the start, but there's no way around it. I'm not even bothering w the set they sent. As for the Chigsby, it's cheap in all aspects. It works, that's it's saving grace, but don't set your expectations too high. The tuners while cheap, were tight and work well. I've heard of people needing to replace them, and I probably will too sometime, but for now, they hold. The guitar itself, while well made, still feels cheap as well. As I said, it 'feels' like a $199 guitar, whereas my IYV LP costed $147 and felt $300-400. It does have a nice sound. Despite everything, the sound was what sold me in the videos I watched and it came through. I actually like the pickups a lot, which in the end, is the reason for playing it. I can make everything work because of that. Overall, it's worth giving a shot for a novelty unknown guitar. It has promise if you keep an open mind. I think with a little more fine tuning and getting used to it, I may even like it more. After string change and final setup EDIT: I put a set of Ernie Ball 9's on it and adjusted everything to a point I'm comfortable with. The action is still a little high for me, so it still feels like playing a mini acoustic, but part of me appreciates that now. It is it's own monster, so I let it be and stopped trying to fight it. The truss rod nut is garbage. It worked when I tweaked it, but I'd have my reservations on messing with it too much. Again, it was a cheap guitar. I expect cheap parts and shining a light in there to see it, confirmed that. I realized the Chigsby spring is inconveniently large and the bar sticks out far enough to stab anyone nearby. I don't like people, so that's fine, but it also made me realize that getting it in a case or bag is going to be a major pain with having to remove the spring every time. Just a note. Playability and sound: My opinion actually went up. The pickups are crystal clear and it sounds awesome, for what it wants to be: An electrified version of a bright, twangy acoustic w a Bigsby. It's unique. I appreciate it as it is and since I play some Blues and Country, it really works for a lot of that, but it will never be a replacement for my LP for playing other things. If you want a different sound, get a different guitar. This thing is one of those specialized sounds, that does a few tasks, but does it well.

Great guitar, especially for people on a budget, sounds great didn’t need any setup, just tuned it and it was good to go, definitely one of my favorites to play, but the inlay on the fretboard can be distracting, and make you lose track of where your next note is.

Pros: pots are smooth. Was set up and intonated out of the box. Body finish and inlay are nicely done. Pickups have a decent sound and would be useable for beginner to intermediate. Cons: Not nearly as good as other, more celebrated cheap brands. Thought I’d try it because I’ve been wanting a bigsby tele to add to the arsenal; this one piqued my interest. It will be fine and I’ll use it, and I’ll put better sounding pickups in it. But it has a ton of quality issues. The other cheap brands that get all the hype are hyped for a reason: they are actually very good. This one not so much. It feels and looks cheap. Tuners are plastic and break/scuff easily. Bridge is cheap plastic. Bigsby doesn’t hold tune and is noisy, and is made of cheap plastic and metal. Sawdust and debris all inside the cavity. The nut slides around in its slot. The neck and headstock finish is rough and headstock has nicks in the wood and other marks of poor craftsmanship. The strap button was broken on arrival and was smashed in to the wood of the body making a noticeable divot. In general, it just doesn’t have that feel when you pick it up of a nice guitar. When I get an IYV or a Firefly in the mail, I unbox it and hold it and immediately go, this is a well crafted instrument. This Zuwei just doesn’t have that. It’s like going back to the old days of you get what you pay for. To sum up: this would certainly be an outstanding guitar for someone learning or someone who is a bit less experienced. It just doesn’t have that magical “I can’t believe they quality I got for this price” thing that, well, let’s face it, we’ve all started to get used to in the last few years. It’s exactly what it should be at the price. Which makes it…not a great purchase. Because, well, IYV and Firefly do exist.

Wow didn’t know how beautiful this thing is. Intonation was good right out of box. Action set nice and low so fingers don’t get tired. Pickups aren’t bad at all pots seem to be of good quality. I would buy the other blue one as well. I would gig this rig.

pictures of this guitar does not do it justice. it is unbelievable beautiful. it sounds and plays great

The one I received was unplayable, took it to a luthier and he said the bridge was bad. The guitar finish was done well, it would make a good wall hanger. Not worth the trouble of having to ship it back.

Ok gang, I did the following mods to make this the perfcect guitar. DO NOT CHANGE THE PICKUPS THEY ARE AWESOME! Roller Bridge, smaller spring, graphite nut and trees, locking tuners. Stays in tune like a champ. Got the frets dressed as well. But this is a great guitar. Not to be overlooked.
