Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? This is an awesome guitar! Although the strap holder on the neck looked crooked and you can really notice. Other than that the pickup aforementioned was chipped a bit. Reliability How has it stood up over time? Good, except I banged it a couple times, but still in good shape. Overall Your general opinion of this product. The vmntx is a very cool rendition of the V and just sounds extremely good. Very easy to tune although the Grover tuners needed tightening. Playability and Feel How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing? It feels lightweight which is good, the neck is quick which is great when I shred random notes, and I like the tone overall. The controls are a bit far but I can manage to reach over time and enough practice. Tone Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? Finish How did the stain or paint job look? The paint job looked extremely sexy, all black and the ebony 22 neck is awesome. Action How was the action out of the box? Good, out of the box it needed tuning, but the bridge pickup was damaged which disappointed me.
