Ministar AMS-LESTAR Electric Guitar (6 String, Natural Maple, 24.75 Scale) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Well, the first one that I received was defective. I believe it was the stacked potentiometer. I, of course, returned it and had another sent to me. When I opened the box two strings were busted (high "E" and "B"). My heart sank. But when I hooked it up to my amp there were no problems with the electronics and my heart floated again. The broken strings were no problem as I had planned to replace them anyway. They were ".09"s and I wanted ".10"s on the guitar. After all, this guitar has two humbuckers and .09 guage strings would not do it justice. Then I adjusted the trussrod. Wow, this little guy rocks! No, its not a Les Paul but for the money it gets close enough. With the included brackets for using whilst standing, this guitar is very, very comfortable. Though you cannot adjust intonation it was close enough to live with. Travel guitars are compromises. Thats the reason they are lighter and smaller than the full size ones. This one suits me fine. It comes with a cable, brackets for standing and sitting, a strap, hex wrench and instructions all in the carry bag. For the price it is a winner.

(More customer reviews)The Good, Bad, and Ugly....

The Good:
1.Neck and action felt good.
2.Tuner worked great.
3.Design of guitar was clever and stored easily.

The Bad:
1.Amazon packing was poor.Box was way too big.As a result the guitar in the gig bag broke out of the manufacturer box and slid around the inside of the shipping box thus causing the gig bag to rip.
2.Volume control did not work smoothly.Went from no sound to about 90% sound.More like a switch than a smooth gradual volume control.I suspect it was a poor design and the resistance was far too high for the circuit design.
3.Tone control also did not work well. More like a switch than a control.
4.I ordered the mahogany stain.Clear, no stain model was shipped.

The Ugly:
1.The OGA-1 Headphone amp did not work. Only hear lots of static.Plugging the guitar input created lots of static.Switching from normal to overdrive was not smooth and you get no sound unless you giggle the switch.
2.Vibrato bar was corroded and pitted.Poor quality control

Even though the neck felt good, the quality control of the electronics and some of the hardware was very, very poor. Great concept design but they took too many shortcuts in getting a cheap price.
