I couldn’t imagine a better first guitar.
Excellent build quality and finish. The Alnico V pickups are good, no upgrade necessary. The tuners are OK, but I will probably replace them with locking tuners. Setup straight out of the box is very good.
The main point is, it feels great to play. Very nice neck - with binding, and no fret sprout.
Minimal neck dive, not as bad as a Gibson.
I own some nice guitars- Washburn Nuno, Fernandes Ravelle, Ibanez hollow body - and the Haze is my current favourite, which says a lot considering the others were three times the price.
Certainly good enough to gig in my opinion.
