Any comments about Smash by Swing guitars?

[pigubaoza]

hi. im a beginner looking for a cheap guitar that is reliable. i went to a shop and they recommended me this brand called Smash by Swing. Ive never heard of this brand before, so I just wanna ask if anyone has experience with this brand of guitars. how is the sound and durability? or any other factors that might affect my decision on a guitar.

Im looking at this one with single single humbucker pickups. the shop sells it for $240 with a strap. is the price worth it?

Thanks!

This guy subversion runs a blog about his guitars, he bought a smash and loved it. he was amazed how good it was for the price, thats all I can say

Smash guitars are as good as it get for budget guitars.. Good shit, and LISTEN to what Mike recommends.. I tried it (I hated the finish) but construction, tone and playability was a steal at its price..

Actually i got the smash for my 1st guitar(was intended for my mom...), without doing research lol .... reason cos when mike helped a/b some of his shop guitars, i like what i heard lol so just bring it home after a few days of consideration.
Right now the more i play with it the more i like it. Having fun, its a very versatile guitar imo.
