Quality
Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable?
Made VERY well and so far dependable. these things were made to last so thats what I expect.

EVMs are supposed to be the most durable speakers. For the price they better be.
Overall
Your general opinion of this product.
Loved the speaker. Excellent clean and dirt. even LOUD.
Playability and Feel
How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing?
VERY HEAVY. Feels heavy duty.
Tone
Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin?
The tone can be bright or dark.. however you want. They are very transparent speakers, and will honestly just sound as good as the amp driving it. The only thing you're not going to get out of these speakers is natural speaker breakup. You will need a pedal for distortion.
Finish
How did the stain or paint job look?
Some of the metal edges was sharp.
Action
How was the action out of the box?
taking it out of the box was a trip. the speakers were covered with a black bandana that says black label on it. Lifting it off was like taking a sheet off of a new car!
