Your general opinion of this product.
This is far superior than any les paul gibson is making at a fraction of the cost.
Playability and Feel
How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing?
It felt a little chunky and heavy at first but quickly that disapeared once i strapped it on and started playing. The neck has a great V feel and profile. Great for string stretching which I do a lot of. Much easier than any les paul I've played.The controls are very easy to use even though I'm a strat player mostly. It took very little time to get use to.
Tone
Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin?
The humbuckers were very smooth. The neck p/up was mabe a little dark at first but with a little ajustment to the amp it was fixed. It became well balanced in tone .The bridge pickup sounded great without any adjustments needed. A little hotter than I usually like but certainly easily adjusted to. The coil split sounded great. Really amazed at the tone on this because this is a hard thing to get humbuckers to actually sound like single coils.
Finish
How did the stain or paint job look?
very tiny mistake on the wood binding area near the neck, a little paint on the binding, but minor. Most likely to be expected at this price range of guitar.
Action
How was the action out of the box?
The action for me was a little low, be\ut within minutes i had it set to my playing specs with the tone pro style bridge.

Your general opinion of this product.
Dean knows whats up
Made in Korea to exacting specs.
List is a grand & street price about 650.00 & that is a value for what you get. But at AMS's blowout price, this guitar borders on being ridiculous.
I do believe I am in love!
Playability and Feel

V shaped neck is sweet & fast
Tone
Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin?
Coil taps on the tone pots give you the every possible tonal varation
Finish
How did the stain or paint job look?
Beautiful Black
with the maple cap exposed on the sides
Minor flaw on the notch where the body meets the top,
slight but this would constitute a 2nd if it were a US model. But for this price point, you will get this type of thing on occasion.
Action

Perfect
