Fantastic guitar
Awesome guitar! I've got about a dozen others - mostly "budget" brands, including another Leo Jaymz model. Typically I buy a cheap guitar and upgrade it to make it punch above its weight. But I won't be changing much on this guy; it's great as-is. Bought it with a coupon that put the price in the low $300's, but even at full price I couldn't buy a cheaper super-strat and mod it to this level of quality, looks, and playability for that money. It looks amazing, it sounds amazing, and it was set up well right out of the box.The guitar ships in a double-walled box with glossy color printing, which was nice for this price range.It still ended up in my recycling bin, but if you're purchasing as a gift it looks a little nicer than your usual plain brown cardboard guitar shipper. Inside, the guitar was packed in a denim-colored, zippered hybrid guitar case with a black flocked, form-fitted interior; sort of a cross between a fabric-constructed soft gig bag and a more protective hard shell. This case is really nice and seems to have protected the guitar very well during shipment.Please note that the top (+ headstock) color patterns vary wildly; each is unique by design. Whether or not you like what you get is going to be subject to your specific tastes and preferences. Just remember, returns are easy with Amazon; admittedly, it took me a few tries before I settled on the violet one pictured. The first one I ordered was the "blue colorful" model, which was gorgeous but the blue tones were more subdued and pale than I had hoped, so I returned it. I then ordered one in violet, which was also beautiful - the purple was much richer than the blue, and and I really loved the wood textures that showed through...but overall the ratio of natural burl showing was much higher than violet epoxy, so I also returned that one, too. Then I rolled the dice on another violet model, and that third time was a charm. Again, EVERY one of the models I received were gorgeous guitars, I just had a clear idea of what I wanted it to look like, and as you can see in the photo, the violet on the one I kept really pops and contrasts well with the more exposed burl portions.Overall, I couldn't be happier with the build quality, appearance, playability, and tone. Some detailed observations:Appearance - positives:+ The epoxy/burl top: Man, this guitar is pretty. It starts with the 3/16" thick burl / epoxy-pour cap that mixes natural wood patterns with vibrant, swirling colors (mostly violet on my model, with hints of turquoise stained into the exposed wood textures). It has amazing three-dimensional depth and I seem to find new details every time I look at it.+ The rest of the body: The cap is perfectly mated (no binding) to a redwood-stained solid (3-piece) mahogany body. The combined top & body are sealed in a high-gloss finish that is evenly applied and polished like glass. The upper bout and double cut "horns" are accentuated by extra-deep cutouts that are both functional (for reaching that 24th fret) and aggressive-looking, giving this the profile of a real "shredder."+ Neck & fretboard: The roasted maple neck really accentuates some beautiful wood grain that shows through a smooth, satin finish that extends to the back & edges of the headstock. The rosewood fretboard on this one is dark and fairly solid, though the two models I returned had lighter fretboards that allowed more wood grain to show. All 3 were very nicely done and contained no wood filler or other defects.+ Side block inlays: The unique, rectangular inlays are cut from a translucent white acrylic - not the more common, swirly mother-of-pearl or pearloid material - which on this model seems to fit well considering there's so much swirling happening elsewhere on the guitar. They're cut and seated perfectly and each serves as both the top and side markers along the fretboard.+ Matching headstock: I love the aggressive outer profile and the 1/8" burl/epoxy cap, which matches the body top. The Leo Jaymz decal is reserved for a stepped roasted maple extension, and the entire top is sealed in high gloss lacquer to match the body.+ Hardware finish: I'm not sure what the proper name for this finish is (I call it "hematite") but it really compliments this guitar well because it shines while subtly fading into the background, drawing your eye to the colors and patterns rather than to bright chrome hardware. And it is used consistently on all parts, including fasteners.+ Overall finish: Just in general, wow. The finish is perfect all-around. I've gone over it several times and can't find even a tiny cosmetic defect.Appearance - negatives:- Zebra humbuckers: I love zebra pickups...on the right guitar. Personally, I don't think they go well with this one. I would've preferred plain black bobbins or maybe matching hematite metal covers because the ivory-colored bobbin sticks out like a sore thumb because the only other ivory component on this guitar is the bone nut; I think they really draw the eye's attention away from the epoxy/burl pattern. So at some point I will probably add my own covers over the existing pickups. But that's just me; others may really like this feature.- Thin redwood finish on body: Shame on me for this one, but I removed the (very tightly fit) back cavity cover to examine the electronics for this review and, in doing so, some of the redwood lacquer easily chipped off along the cavity (to about 1/8" from the edge). Never had that problem with another guitar...and it just about broke my heart given how perfectly this guitar is finished otherwise. Perhaps some of the finish had dried onto to cover? Or perhaps it was just so tight that pulling the cover off put enough pressure on the brittle finish to crack it? In any case, be very careful if you have a need to look under the hood, otherwise just avoid doing so altogether if you don't have a good reason.Functional - positives:+ Factory set-up: Wow. This was probably the most playable guitar out-of-the-box that I've purchased to date. Neck is perfectly straight, nut is cut well, action is just right, pickup height is spot-on, and intonation is nearly perfect (only made the *slightest* adjustment to the D string).+ High quality locking tuners: For no-name, factory tuners, these are really nice. They're smooth, hold tune well, and very precise with that 21:1 gear ratio. Love the full-size gumdrop buttons (not the minis you usually get with 6 in-line machines).+ Great fretwork: The ball-end, stainless steel frets are shiny, smooth, and perfectly level up and down the fretboard. And unlike many ball-end frets on cheap guitars, these actually extend consistently all the way out to the edges of the fretboard at every fret.+ Pots: Volume & tone knobs are smooth and ramp up/down smoothly, and are attached to full-size potentiometers under the hood.+ Pickups: These humbuckers are very articulate and have a good blend of bright, mids, and bottom end for metal and hard rock. Don't expect vintage twang here but if you're buying this guitar that's probably not what you're looking for anyway. The bridge is real hot; measured 15.1 kohms on my multi-meter. The neck pickup is significantly warmer and came in at 8.1 kohms. The pair give this guitar great versatility as humbuckers, but as a bonus...+ Coil splitting!: The tone knob can be pulled out to split either humbucker into single-coil mode, which was not in the product description at the time I bought the guitar so this was a real nice bonus! In single-coil mode, the bridge pickup has a slightly thinner strat-like tone, and the neck pickup takes on something more like a tele neck pickup - still warm, but more articulate than the humbucker mode.+ Hard tail: As fun as dive-bombs are, trems take your guitar out of tune...and locking trems can be a pain to tune and maintain. So it's nice to play a super-strat-type guitar that just has a plain old fixed bridge for a change; that kind of simplicity also makes this an especially good choice for a beginner.+ Strings: I can't believe I'm going to say this, but the factory-installed strings were actually not terrible. Not great, but not terrible.Functional - negatives:- Strap buttons: I know they're supposed to be a premium feature, but they don't work with the D'Addario Auto Lock strap that I currently use, nor do they work with any of the other straps I have lying around. Plus, they're bulky, kinda ugly, and rattle around a lot if you aren't using a strap. So...while I appreciate the intention, these things are coming off at my first opportunity and getting replaced with some plain old strap buttons (in hematite finish, obviously).Overall, a fantastic guitar that looks amazing, sounds great, and plays really well out of the box.Build quality is several notches above other Leo Jaymz models and many other "budget" brands out there. Shredders will really appreciate this one, but I also think the lack of need for a setup, the included hybrid gig bag / case, and the reasonable price tag make this a really great choice for beginners as well. Highly recommended!

Pretty good for $319
Looks good, sounds good, like the features. First time Iโve used a strap-lock and Iโm going to equip a few more guitars with them now. Setup was OK, though intonation was not great - easy to correct though with the fixed string-through bridge. There was a height adjustment screw for the high E string saddle that stuck up and was rough to the hand, so I shortened it. Not a big or difficult fix. Tuning keys are OK but feel like low-ratio so not very subtle when tuning. Got it for $319 so hard to argue with the value, but not as nice as some mid-range Schecters I have.

A mixed bag
I knew I was taking a bit of a chance ordering an a guitar off Amazon but I think I expected a little more from this purchase than I got.The neck is a certified mixed bag, some of the fret ends are sharp and sprout aggressively through the neck. The frets themselves are rounded but the ends have broken through 6-8 of the frets.The action out of the box is absurdly high which I expected. Bringing the action down to something closer to .06 brought some fret buzz but nothing horrendous. I suspect when I get the strings off I'll find a fret or 2 isn't level from the rattle I'm hearing but it isn't that bad.Finish is nice, I wasn't sure I was going to like it based on the pictures and I kind of don't - but I can put myself in a younger man's shoes and admit it's got charm.Tuners are a mixed bag, the high e string is reluctant to tune but the rest of them seem fine. They are locking tuners but the stock strings are wound on the post.Intonation is pretty bad out of the box but is fixable. The bridge is pretty easy to work with as far as string height and intonation goes.The deal breaker for me with this guitar is the pickups are out of wack. The neck pickup can only be adjusted on the bass side, the treble screw is stuck and the entire pickup is slanted forward. This is probably going to have me return the guitar, I don't want to try and retap the screw hole or anything like that to get them level.I would not buy this guitar for a new player unless I was experienced in handling setups personally or baked in the cost of a professional. If you got one with the frets not tearing out of the neck, and had the action, intonation, and pickups adjusted correctly this guitar would be worth the money. The actual kit is nice. The case is nice. They give you some accessories. I think this company wants to do well, I just suspect this price point leaves little room for QC, and absolutely none for setup.Edit: I did a bit more work on the guitar and the bridge pickup cavity is mostly fine, a little fooling around got the pickup to sit better. The bridge is routed too narrow and the pickup assembly won't move freely. I can fix it with some sanding but I can see the builder also has this issue as the finish is chewed up pretty bad

These guitars are beyond amazing ๐
Dude with the 80 dollar coupon included you get a beautiful and expensive feeling guitar with a nice custom molded guitar case that feels well made... You get a capo with some good picks all for literally around 335 dollars with tax and you're nuts if you don't get one of these guitars .... I have 21 guitars of all different brands(Ibanez, Harley Benton, Jackson, Mitchell, Ernie ball, esp, fender tele, Epiphone) and now I own 2 Leo Jaymes and I've got to say I love the way this guitar feels and plays . The neck is dark brown roasted and smooth as melted butter omg !!!! I literally had to do nothing except pop new strings on and oil the fretboard board which is routine with me and straight out of the box it was ready to play no setup twerking of any kind .. action is perfect for a drop D or C tuning ..... Locking tuners are really nice and it comes with strap locks too ... This is my favorite guitar at this moment so I highly recommend getting one there's a ton of colors to choose from as well... ๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค
