Subject:Awesome tone
Quality: It came in a factory sealed box. Quality was world class except for the cheap strap. Granted, it comes free as part of the "case candy" but still... it's a little more than a piece of string and a buckle.
Reliability: I've had it about a week now but I expect it to perform very well for at least the next 10 years.
Overall: Awesome.
Playability and Feel: The neck is chunky. Almost feels like you're holding a baseball bat. If you dislike meatier necks, stay away from this. If you're like me and you either don't care too much about neck size or like bigger necks, then you'll like the neck. Action comes a bit high. It's supposed to be like this so I guess it's ok... but who likes high action? Very few players. I restrung and lowered the action and now it plays like a dream.
Tone: I also have a similar guitar but with texas specials in them. I would have to say that the texas specials are twangier, brighter and have more bite to them. These big dippers are still twangy, slightly warmer and more articulate.
Finish: FLAWLESS. At first I was a little hesitant to buy an expensive guitar online. I was not disappointed though. I got it here from American Musical. I recommend going to a local guitar retailer, trying the guitars out and finding which one you like. Then order it from here. The price online will either be the same or cheaper (when you consider tax). Plus, you're basically guaranteed that you're getting a brand spanking new one and not one that's been played several times already.
Action: Action was high. See above.
