Since the saddle of the DAG-1C model is made out of plastic, it is not the best one to enhance the sound. An upgrade to a compensated saddle from Graph Tech, for instance, will create a big difference in sound. Compensated saddles set each string’s intonation to help produce the best possible tone and performance.First, the volume knob affects your sound only from 5-10. It turns to silent when you reach 4, so it doesn’t give that good control over the volume. For me, this doesn’t really matter since I mostly adjust the tone knobs and only sometimes turn the volume to around 8 instead of 10. Finally, another con, a bit rough fret edges below the 11th fret I already mentioned in the “Hardware”-section. Again, this didn’t bother me too much, but it’s still something that needs to be pointed out and takes a bit out of the playability score too. The sound is mostly bass. That may be improved by swapping out the cheap plastic nut and saddle for bone.

Secondly, the body of the guitar doesn’t have shielding. This can cause especially single-coils to produce unwanted hum and buzz when there’s radio- or electromagnetic interference present. The tuners are the worst I’ve ever seen. I mean they hold tuning fine, but they have enormous gear slop when you change directions, and sometimes feel gritty when turning.

Or are they just cheap Chinese-made axes that don’t deserve any attention from us? Well, you’re about to discover the truth.
