Subject:G5120
Quality: Well made Korean guitar. Almost as good as it`s more expensive cousins. Easily the nicest guitar I`ve had. Better than my Fenders or Gibsons.
Sound: It needs a bit of pickup adjustment to even out the low tones but otherwise fantastic.
Reliability: Haven`t had it long enough but nothin for-seeable.
Overall: Great playing guitar.
Playability and Feel: Really nice to play. Great feel.
Tone: Pickups were crisp and clear sounding. Also, with a little gain, produce a nice growel.
Finish: Perfect, not a flaw to be found.
Action: Needed to be fine tuned as usually the case. Bridge adjustment for sure to get rid of packing foam.
Skill Level: Semi-Pro

Subject:Awesome Guitar
Quality: Incredible finish and looks very well built
Reliability: Tell you in a year or two or three --->
Overall: Great sound and best playing guitar I ever had.
Playability and Feel: The best that I ever played
Tone: The tone is what I would expect from a high priced guitar. It is the best for the kind of music I like. I was not happy with the tone control as it seems to lower the volume instead of changing the tone. I will have this looked by an authorized repair service as I like it to much to send it back.
Finish: The best I have ever seen, I got the sunburst.
Action: Tuned it and played it right out of the box. No other adjustments were needed.
Skill Level: Beginner

Subject:Poor mans Brian Setzer Hot Rod
Quality: Incredible fit and finish.
Reliability: Only needs the occasional neck adjustments (winter's been long here in Michigan)
Overall: Excellent sound - especially if you upgrade to a set of TV Jones Classics. Fits like a glove, easily the nicest playing guitar I've owned (and I've had lots).
Playability and Feel: The neck is a perfect size/shape for medium - large hands playing fairly intricate jazz chords. One raised fret - easy fix and fairly common on new guitars. Once you lower the action and check the neck for straightness you're ready to rock
Tone: The neck has a huge, fat tone even with the stock pick ups. The bridge is a little thin and bighty, even for rockabily with the stock p'ups but a quick change to some TV's and you won't be let down - they're that good
Finish: The stain is a beautiful orange and completly even. I wish they had made the headstock the same finish but the black's cool too.
Action: Action out of the box totally stinks, but 5 minutes twiddling the adjustments and you're there.
Skill Level: Intermediate
Do you own this product?: Yup (might need a second)
