Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? Very pretty and solid guitar/ Reliability How has it stood up over time? I've only had it 2 months but it "feels" great! General Your general opinion of this product. Very nice guitar. Playability and Feel How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing? Easy to play and the action was perfect right out of the box. Tone Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? Unbelievable sounding guitar. Kudo's to the esonic team. Finish How did the stain or paint job look? I got the Natural guitar and the picture doesnt actually show the true color. The real country is a light orange kind of. Beautiful, man I wouldnt trade this guitar for nothing. Action How was the action out of the box? Perfect!! I kid you not.
Just a great Acoustic Electric

Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? Very well made guitar. Has so many great features that you would normally have to pay much more for... - All Solid Wood Construction - Bone Nut and Saddle - Full Body, Neck and Headstock Binding - Great Electronics with two different pickups - Vintage style headstock and inlays Reliability How has it stood up over time? So far it seems very reliable. I've only had it about six months after getting it for myself with Birthday money. Did a lot of research and this guitar just had the features I wanted at a price that was within my budget. General Your general opinion of this product. Love it. Already mentioned the features and add that to the price and you can't really beat it. Would usually probably have to pay double what these cost from most companies to get all the features it as. Playability and Feel How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing? Plays and feels solid and just a joy to play. Tone Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? Had my first gig the other night and used this bad boy and got tons of compliments on our sound. Just went from the guitar straight into a PA. You have some options with the built in electronics that have the two pickups. I had it about 3/4 of the way towards the nanoflex side of the slider and it worked great. Played about a 3 hour gig and it worked great. Finish How did the stain or paint job look? I have the Sunburst finish and it's gorgeous. Looks like a much more expensive guitar than it is. Really like the satin finish on the back of the neck. Also like the vintage headstock and inlays. Just a sweet looking axe. Action How was the action out of the box? Action was perfect right from the factory. So easy to play and wasn't bad at all playing it for a 3 hour gig.

Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? I was absolutly astonished by this. It had the sound and fell of the old J45 J50 Gibson's my dad had. Reliability How has it stood up over time? I have not had any issues with this instrument and honestly don't feel that I will have any issues. General Your general opinion of this product. I would rate this as good a quality instrument as I have ever played in my 40 years of music. Playability and Feel How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing? I always set instruments up to fit my playing style but out of the box it was like it was custom set for me. The sound acoustically is mellow and resonant. The electronics give extreme flexability. Tone Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? If you are looking for that deep rich Gibson traditional sound here it is. Finish How did the stain or paint job look? The finish of the guitar is flawless Action How was the action out of the box? Butter smooth ready to be p[layed.
