I would like to buy a cheap guitar that looks cool and I think I found one.
The issue is that I haven`t found any reviews about it and no local music store seem to have it. It is an Arbor AS320; can anyone please let me know if it`s a good guitar. I mean any info about the guitar will be appreciated: sound, action, sustain, stays in tune, etc.
From the description it seems to be a really nice guitar. Here a website where it`s sold:

Thanks.

Adrian, the guitar looks very good. I didn`t see anyone answer you yet. No, I haven`t played one but have been repairing all guitars since they were invented. This Arbor should give you a very good guitar with nice features for the money. The only thing you will give up is some sustain, due to what will be a thinner body than some, and a smaller trem block. Frets as well might need a little polish or smoothing, and some lem-oil on the fingerboard, whenever you change strings. Sometime, you might want wax-potted pickups, since these aren`t shielded in any way. But I see no downside to choosing this particular model. It looks good. Strat man Dwight

I have not played this model, but I do have a Arbor ap230 (les paul copy), and after some little setup stuff it plays as good or better than my Epi lp.
To set up, check the nut to be sure none of the grooves are cut too deep(fret buzz), set the intonation at the bridge saddles(stay in tune) and replace the strings(nuff said). Then just adjust the string action(up or down at the bridge)were you like it and rock on!!

These are great guitars, i dont have that model but the metalic black one... which should ploay the same. They are so fun, and great looking. They have nice long necks and a great comortable body to hold. The only problem is that (if that is a tremelo) it is very sensetive to pressure on the bridge and needs a little tuning work before you play each time. But thats not a big deal. I say go for it! You won`t regret it!
