Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? It is very well made. Its a very dependable guitar and it really is a great buy. Reliability How has it stood up over time? It is a very sturdy guitar, I have had not problems and it would take some huge force to do anything to damage this guitar General Your general opinion of this product. This guitar is definitely killer. Playability and Feel How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing? It has a very fast, smooth neck. The body is big, but that's not a problem. The controls are fairly close at hand, so there are no problems there. It is a little heavy, but its balanced, so no problems there either. Tone Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? The pick ups are everything you would want. They are clear when clean and scorching when distorted. Finish How did the stain or paint job look? I did notice some very small imperfections (some tiny black splotches) but they are unnoticeable and really, this guitar looks great. Action How was the action out of the box? As soon as I got it a threw on some Dean Markly Blue Steels, tuned it up, and it sounded totally awesome.
