![]() If you play standing up, get a good strap immediately. It’s good to protect the guitar from dust but not suitable for carrying. It’s a cheap bag with no padding (you can’t expect that at this price, honestly). Stringsīoth the guitar and extra strings are pretty average, and these should be the first things you get changed after a while. The tuner is of average quality, but it works some buyers, however, report a discrepancy between this and an app-based tuner. But not surprisingly, the amp works very decently for clean sound output, and 20 watts of power is enough for practice and intimate gigging. The Gain control doesn’t work linearly as you would expect, and the sound starts to squeak as you push the amp to overdrive. There is an Overdrive channel, but it doesn’t work as well. ![]() The bundled 20 watts practice amp is the second highlight of the package, with a 2-band EQ and a headphone output. The 5-way pickup selector switch does offer a good tone variety, but the two tone knobs/controls do not do as much to the tone as I had expected. However, I feel some height adjustments might fix this. The pickups are decent however, they seem sometimes to not pick up the vibration with a very subtle hammer-on or tapping. The LyxPro electric guitar has the usual Strat pickup placement with three single-coils. The control knobs are all plastic and feel cheap, and the strap buttons give a sturdy feeling and are well-placed for their purpose. Unsurprisingly, some people report tuning issues that were resolved once they put on a new set of tuners. They work but don’t have quite the right feel to them. The tuning machines, in contrast, are below-average. However, quite surprisingly, the bridge and the whammy bar work as expected and give you decent adjustment options. And even though a tremolo/vibrato bridge looks like a good deal, the cheaper ones are not known for their tuning stability. The vibrato bridge, quite the surprise at this price, works decently and is secured on the body with 6 screws. The hardware on the LyxPro is nothing to write home about, but they work satisfactorily. But be ready to put in some elbow grease as quality control is hardly the selling point of the LyxPro electric guitar. That being said, the finishing on the neck, especially the fingerboard, is quite decent. The fretwork is quite decent for the price, as only a few minor sharp ends needed sanding/filing down. The neck on the LyxPro electric guitar is straight as it should be and has a thin profile making it “fast.” The Canadian maple used for the neck is good quality, and the neck joint feels sturdy. The guitar is lightweight but feels solid in the hands. The manufacturers do not state the tonewood used for this guitar but the neck is made of Canadian maple long with a Rosewood fingerboard. Overall, the guitar looks beautiful in its thick, glossy coating and is available in 10 colors in both left and right-handed variants. As with almost all cheaper instruments, the quality control could be a hit or miss, especially the fretwork, which might need some filing to be properly playable. The build quality is good, even impressive for the price, along with the finishing and craftsmanship, which is also quite decent. Everything from the pickup arrangement to the pickguard and from the body contours to the control knobs resembles the Strat. The design of this guitar is based on the famous and iconic Fender Strat or Stratocaster.
