Guitar makers these days are doing a very good job at creating budget guitars that are well-built and play decent music. This 2015 006 SGR by Schecter is a good example. I got this from an Indonesian student studying at NTU. He just got himself a Squier Jaguar so he was letting his first ever guitar go.
The guitar was well-taken care of by the young man. I like the satin finish throughout the whole body and the sound and growl she can deliver. It will be a good entry level guitar for any beginners.
