Great guitar for the money
The finish is awesome and flawless, and the curved top is very comfy. The sound is surprisingly good (for metal). And the neck is slim and super comfy to play. The strap buttons are wide enough to keep the strap secure. Electronics are solid. Balance is very good.
The guitar came detuned, but tuning up is quick, and the bridge was pre-balanced, and perfectly flat after tuning up.
Some minor flaws do exist, the first one is the tuning machines, that are a bit jumpy. Seems this is a common issue with the JSes. Some oil in the mechanism might help there. However, with a locking nut, this is not noticable from day to day - only when you change strings or else do major adjustments. I've opted to keep the tuners for this reason.
The neck came *really* dry from the factory. Recommend a round or two of lemon oil before using the guitar.
Finally, the frets are a bit rough, but it seems to play out by itself - and can of course be polished before setup.
With those small adjustments after unboxing, this is the first guitar that I've not swapped anything on at all. Impressive!

Good value for its price
The total score I've left is based on the total price/value ratio IMO. It's a lower-end guitar and it's expected to have the usual 1st string getting stuck over an unprecisely filed fret and the whammy bar wobbling around the socket, but I would recommend it over similar-priced guitars.
