Immediately became my favorite practice guitar
I’ve had this guitar for about a month now and it’s exactly what I wanted. I wouldn’t recommend it as a first guitar, but it’s great for learning. It lives in my living room because it’s so tiny I pull it out to practice scales constantly. It pairs perfectly with my mini crush and spark, so I have a whole tiny rig that I can take anywhere. My family does singalongs when we get together and bringing full size guitars has always been a pain. I’ve also snuck this into work a few times, when I would never try sneaking an obvious guitar case in. Otherwise, I’ve always wanted a 2x4 guitar like a la baye and this is the same kind of animal. This is my first headless, but it won me over to them. I didn’t understand the name Batking until I had the guitar and realized that it’s probably useable as a baseball bat if I ever have a break in.Things to know: without a real body it doesn’t play like other guitars. It’s awkward to hold at first, and you’ll notice you have to look at the fretboard more because the neck will move more since it doesn’t have 5-10 pounds of wood holding it in place. That said I got used to it after a few days. Otherwise the humbucker is a little higher from the bridge than I would have placed it but it’s placed to work well with the coil split.Also: the single pickup has a push-pull coil split. I didn’t see it in the listing but it switches the guitar from the humbucker to the single coil. It’s a hot rail, but with the right amp settings I can take it from relatively clean with single coil low volume to full volume distortion with just the one knob. This is the fix if you’re worried the pickup is too hot. I’d say this is probably my most versatile guitar since all my others tend to just have either all single coils or all humbuckers.Tuning is different, but fine. The strings took a day or two to stretch after I got it but it stays in tune for days now. Tuning is much easier with the included key but I didn’t even check the bag that came with the guitar for like two days after getting it because I couldn’t put the guitar down.Overall I’m extremely happy with this. At less than $300 I expected to have to tinker with the guitar but I haven’t actually set it up yet and haven’t had any issues with action anywhere on the neck. I did have one quality issue with the bridge lock becoming too loose to stay locked after a few days but it doesn’t affect playability and I’m so happy with it in general that I don’t care. Headless bridges seem to either cost as much as this whole guitar or suffer from quality issues so it is what it is.Since getting the guitar I moved the top strap button to the neck’s heel because at the neck the guitar rested awkwardly at the midpoint of the guitar, halfway up the neck. On the heel, the guitar twists down a bit from the weight of the instrument cable. I’m going to try an eye hook opposite of the volume knob instead, but haven’t got around to it because it’s still fine as-is.

Very nice instrument!
Very nice playing guitar! Thicker neck then I thought but no big deal, pretty decent sounding humbucker! Good for metal, nice bridge but just go slow while tuning it as it's touchy, seems well made! My only real complaint is that it doesn't really balance well at all, they need the hook that Anygig came out with for sure, will be keeping it!*Edit*: After having it for a few weeks I noticed a couple of issues. The tremolo really doesn't stay in tune that well when you dive on it. With the trem locking mechanism it seems to hold tune fine. There seems to be buzzing on the whole fretboard so I'll need to level the fretboard unfortunately, could be better! And a few finish blemishes mainly on the neck and hardware blemishes so definitely not perfect but will need working on.

Nice Instrument for Bike Commuting
Got this for practice at work. Works really well! Tuners are a little finicky. The case has a courier strap suitable for bicycle commuting, but I strongly recommend adding more foam inside the case. I read complaints about strap button placement, and honestly, if I play sitting it works fine - but the real estate is there if you do want to move or add a strap button - I'd place one near the neck like on my Gibson SG. Setting intonation was a breeze to dial in perfectly with my Peterson Strobo tuner.

It's ok
Not a huge fan. I like the idea, but I find that it does not hold tune very well and is uncomfortable to play. It is very portable, looks cool, and very well made. Restringing is a pain if you don't have a battery powered bit driver though. Price is about right, sound was good through my portable amp, action level was a little low on mine so I had some string buzzing. I raised it a bit and it was easy enough to change. I didn't have the original instructions and I was not able to find info online on how to change the strings so I had to figure it out and it was pretty easy. There are included tools and cable, which is nice. I wish there was something to attach to the body that would allow it to be played sitting down.

King of bats
Pretty much a baseball bat with strings.Tuning was weird to figure out, probably did it wrong. I just tightened the whammy spring all the way and the thumb screws act the same as a traditional set up. The thumb screw in the bag is used to extend the one for the string you're tensioning, i didn't realize i just used an allen wrench at first 🤷 Holds a tune and sounds great. Can be played sitting for a little while, super light weight. Beautiful and clean, nothing seems cheap even though it is cheap. Notes come out clearer and cleaner than my epiphone and shaking it is so easy while playing.

Really wanted to like it
This electric guitar was perfect for the size and use for my project so i really wanted to like this product. Found that the tuning was very unreliable; there is a tuner lock but it comes unlocked way too easily to do its job. Also due to the shape of the guitar it must be played while wearing a strap. This is no problem for me as i always wear a guitar strap anyways. But due the balance of the guitar and the terrible placement of the strap buttons, it is basically unplayable. I had no problems with heat, but if it can’t stay in tune or been comfortably played, its not a guitar worth having. Instant return, do not buy.

Cool idea
Excellent idea. But the volume being mounted on the bottom, facing down is pretty awkward. The neck is perfect. And the pups sounds fantastic. Will mod how the strap mounts on the body as other's on here have done to make playing it more practical.
