Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? I've never owned anything less than a Fender, Epiphone or Gibson. I bought this as a retro fixer-upper, but it's made much better. No problems after 2 weeks. Reliability How has it stood up over time? Again, only owned it 2 weeks but it's been reliable after finally changing strings and setting up. General Your general opinion of this product. Excellent rendition of an 80's hair-band axe. Pickup doesn't need to be changed out immediately and set-up was pretty close out of the box. Playability and Feel How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing? Guitar is light, plays easy and fast (I'm not a shredder, more like a Gilmour) Only one knob, easily accessible if you adjust the tremolo bar. Tone Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? Pickup was very responsive wide open, yet rolled back fairly well for easy rhythms. If you're a purist, swap for a Dimarzio Crunch Lab and you're still way under budget. Finish How did the stain or paint job look? Perfect. Action How was the action out of the box? MOST important note on this guitar. Google FU-Tone for their products on Floyd Rose and similar tremolos. Setup on this guitar out of the box is: 1: change strings. 2: while changing strings, rest guitar on your lap and ensure the trem sits parallel with the top of your guitar (not at the same level, just parallel). Make sure the trem is resting in the stud grooves. Using the 2 springs on the claw in the rear cavity, make small adjustments until trem is parallel with body. Now, buy either the brass or simple steel trem stoppers from FU-Tone and mount as directed. This will hold the tremolo in place for restringing and lock it in place for dive only action. You can restore pull-up function to the trem, but I find most don't need it.

Just bought it, but I'm sure it will last as long as any other guitar. General Your general opinion of this product. At $300 it's better than most $800 guitars were 10 years ago. Great back up axe. Playability and Feel How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing? Wide, flat neck as any other shredder guitar. No surprises, which is good. I got exactly what I had expected. Tone Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? Again, this is no tone monster, but these guitars were meant to be played at high gain, so a 50 year old Strat would sound much the same. Finish How did the stain or paint job look? Paint is fine if you can stomach the colors. Action How was the action out of the box? Actually it was right on. Didn't need to tweak anything.

Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable?

Time will tell on the dependability.Guitar did need a full setup upon delivery,not suprised. Reliability How has it stood up over time? At a month old,and 2 hours playing time per day,it stays in tune and is holding up just fine!Lots of dive bombs! General Your general opinion of this product. I've wanted a single pickup/whammy guitar for a while now.I wanted the tone,looks,and feel of an 80's guitar,(Think-Skid Row,Dokken,others)without the high price of a San-dimas guitar from that era. This guitar delivers just that ! Playability and Feel How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing? The neck is the fastest neck I've played on.It doesn't get any simpler than a great neck and one single knob! Tone Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? I will probably upgrade the pickup down the road,after the new-ness fades.It's hard to grade the pickup when you're useing a top-end Marshall tube amp! Finish How did the stain or paint job look? The neck and headstock finish is flawless!The green body looks great although a little thin in some areas. Action How was the action out of the box? Action out of the box was low.First and second frets were buzzing.Tried to adjust tremelo,but ended up with a truss rod adjustment.Typical.Now all is good!
