My guitar arrived in great condition, no shipping damage. Packed very well. The finish is flawless. I literally cannot find a blemish. The action is nice and low and the frets seem level and no fret buzz. Hard to believe it seems to be set up well from the factory. Ironically this is my second mail order guitar that was set up well. Maybe it's just luck. Weather was warm, so I didn't really have to let it acclimate much. Took my time slowly tuning up, as I didn't want to put too much tension on the neck too quickly. Factory strings shipped quite loose. I'm sure these strings are crap, but I will leave them on for a bit until I get the guitar "broke in" and then put some quality strings on her. Pickups are clear, and nice tone. Not very hot pups, but I didn't expect that on a guitar at this price point, but they're surprisingly decent. Tone and volume knobs function as designed. Some of these models came with Grover locking tuners, this one did NOT. Once the strings stretch in and the neck settles, I'll have a better idea of tuning stability. The obvious items worth upgrading would probably be the tuners and the nut. Other than that, very pleased. Stunning beautiful instrument. Helluva guitar for the price point. ($189).

I'll start with the CONS: First, you have to know how to setup your guitar. If not have a local tech do. Should be less than $100 or learn yourself. Slight fret buzz but not bad (some metal shavings came off from the dremel polishing), lowered the action, the strings were fine (.10s I think) if I could salvage them. But cut em. Polish the frets, oil the fretboard, check your truss rod (mine didn't need adjusting)!! Check your intonation in case. This all goes for a $3000 guitar too ya know!! USA driven, China manufactured, to check for QA.
PROs: This has become my new favorite guitar! It's beautiful! The hardware, body is solid, pickups, pots, detail, all good. Heavy but what a quality tone. Excellent! If you have an issue out of the box I expect good things from Leo support, didnt need yet. Please dont dissapoint Leo service!
Play through some 'decent gear' and it sounds bright, vivid, loud, beautiful.
Overall: Impressed does not explain my first reaction. I bought the Tempest model because I am just overall curious about Leo design, quality, and beauty at this price point! I expect this guitar to remain one of my favs!
Update Mar31st - Needed to order a new bridge since E, B were rocking and loose. Asked LJ for support. They offered $20 to replace the bridge. Ok so I did. Next purchase I may send back to Amazon if it has issues. Leo Jaymz support is all email. Support lacks a decent response and time. A live person would be nice too!
Add 4-28 Also bought the US Flag guitar. Needed the nut raised slightly. Put some thin double adhesive under it, glued it back in. It's a cheap nut unfortunately but works. Got the annoying mysterious buzz out and action lowered more too. Now it rocks! Still the bridge is cheap and will replace. These things setup right are hard to beat for this price. Sounds amazing!

Pros:
- Flawless finish
- Real mahogany wood and solid construction
- Works well with minimal setup
- Hardware is serviceable
- Pickups sound detailed and full
- Fantastic deal for the quality of instrument you get for only $200~
Cons:
- Flag looks dimmer and lower res than the image featured. Not a deal breaker but worth noting
- Frets were scratchy out of the box
- Fret board was dirty out of the box
- Nut is cheap plastic and had fraying out of the box
- Pickups are very harmonic
Overall:
This is a great instrument for the price and is an incredible modding platform if you want to upgrade the hardware and the pickups. After spending an hour or two getting it ready sanding the frets, cleaning and oiling the fret board, filing and lubricating the nut, swapping to some quality strings and setting the action and intonating it, I don't have much to complain about. It does unfortunately need some work out of the box and a decent setup to get it playing as good as it can be but if you're willing to put in maybe an afternoon's amount of work at most, you will get an honest to goodness LP for $200 out the door. You cannot go wrong.
