| Iconic Axe! |
| Quality |
| Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? |
| Looks, sounds and feels very well made but again, it's brand new. Check with me in five years. |
| Reliability |
| How has it stood up over time? |
| Brand new - time will tell. |
| Overall |
| Your general opinion of this product. |
| Superior! One of a kind. Looks and plays like no other guitar. Period. |
| Playability and Feel |
| How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing? |
| I know this is a heavy axe, but it feels surprisingly light. Maybe it's the way it's balanced. When it's strapped on, your fingers drop right into the 12th fret high E, so it's a natural screamer! It's also long (at least 12 inches longer than my Tele) so if you want to get down low, you have to push it to your right. Not a problem, but a completely uinique way of playing. The neck is paper thin, like my Rickenbacker 360, and straight as an arrow. I usually like some bow in my guitar necks, but not on this baby. Can get at the controls easily. |
| Tone |
| Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? |
| Tone is dark, with surprisingly chunky lows, but crisp highs. Neck through body makes notes sustain forever. |
| Finish |
| How did the stain or paint job look? |
| I got the vintage sunburst and it is perfect. |
| Action |
| How was the action out of the box? |
| Set up was nice, low but no buzz. Required nothing but a minor, five minute intonation adjustment. |
