This would be classified as a Fender P knock-off. Although it sounds OK, its a bear to play. The action is difficult due to the poor manufacturing. Fit and finish is non-existant. But it is cheap and you get what you pay for. I find that you get the best sound out of it by switching to ground wound strings. Has volume and tone but tone should be called "the other silver knob". But, hey, if there were no bottom of the barrel stuff what woud you compare to.
