| Quality:
| This is a very well-made instrument well suited for beginners. The first shipment was damaged in transit. AMS did a great job of getting my damaged guitar back to them and had an replacement sent to me in a few days. Customer Service is excellent.
The second time I received this package, everything inside was in perfect condition. I had it playing in no time. The included tuner was the best I've used.
I did not like the plastic dials and had to spend several minutes taking them off and putting them back on so that the numbers matched the volume. One knob was loose and I had to tighten the nut under the knob. I would like to see metal or heavier dials. i would also like to see a hard case for this instrument as it will be well used for many years to come. |
| Reliability:
| So far so good and still in tune. I play it every day. |
| Overall:
| An excellent guitar of choice for beginners. The amplifier does what it is supposed to do, get the sound out! It is easy to set up, but my only complaint is the feed back and hum that i can not adjust out of the amplifier. |
| Playability and Feel:
| The guitar feels like an instrument that demands to be played from the first time it is picked up and plugged in. It is beautifully well-made and a great replacement for those who may not be able to afford a Les Paul. |
| Tone:
| Tone is good. The knobs take some getting used to and to adjust. Over all, it sounds great. |
| Finish:
| Beautiful finish. |
| Action:
| Good action. The speed may be slow for some. I noticed the strings could have been adjusted closer to the fret for quicker action but not impossible to play. |
