Yes, but keep in mind this is an entry level guitar. Keep your expectations in check.

Waste of $200
All electronics are junk "pots, switch, pups"
Tuners/machine heads never hold tune!
Cheap buzz prone LockTone bridge and Plastic saddle.
By the time everything is replaced/upgraded, you could have bought a much better New guitar!
or a used Gibson Les Paul Studio.

I'm not defending this guitar as it is for beginners, but I'm guessing you have not priced used Gibson Les Paul studios lately. You could upgrade this twice over and it would still be cheaper

I have this one in this exact color. Upgraded the whole thing, hardware, electronics and all - even got used burst buckers, was still cheaper than my epiphone extura. It's a great guitar if you like to tinker and learn about properly maintaining and setting up an instrument. That said, i think the orange version gets down to like 130

The body is surprisingly small relative to every other electric I own though.

If you have a little patience, They can be had for $550-$600, But I'm guessing you don't know where to look or have no patience!
Upgrading it will be at least $200, Double upgrade at another $200 and the Initial $200 for the guitar totals $600 my friend. At this price point, a used Gibson LP Studio can be had.
So for almost three times the price a beginner can have a decent guitar? Gotcha...

If you're new to guitar, this one is not only fine, but aimed at you. The counter argument here is literally just that it's not a more expensive guitar.

Here is a mid to upper range entry level guitar, But this deal is WAYYY better!!! https://slickdeals.net/f/17779209
Black Friday is around the corner, which should show some $400 - $500 deals on Fender MIM Strat's & Tele's. Adorama is notorious for this deal!
If non of these are your style, An ESP/LTD 256, PRS SE series are excellent choices as well.
In the end, if learning to play guitar is not for you, You can at least get nearly all of your money back from a mid - upper end guitar. A bottom of the barrel beginner guitar will be half of what you pay, If you're lucky!

I'd look for a used guitar. Plenty of better used epiphone les pauls. Or an ESP LTD-256 would be a great les paul style that is light, ergonomic and great for metal
