Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? For a chinese made guitar, this is just as good if not better, than some of Gibson's overpirced product. Reliability How has it stood up over time? I just got mine a few days ago but, it has held up very well, especially after I gave it a good cleaning, setup , and restringing. General Your general opinion of this product. I'm 53 years old and in my 40 years of playing guitar, this has to be one of the best instruments I have ever come across. The stock Alnico open coil humbuckers sound great whether you're playing clean or on a Gain setting, plus the Grover tuners keep this baby in tune forever . The White Cross and the XI inlay on the neck are also cosmetically appealing to the eye as well. Playability and Feel How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing? The neck on this reminds me of a 1960's design LP, while the body is not as heavy as the LP Standards and is quite comfortable on my shoulder. Tone Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? Once the Humbuckers were adjusted to my specs, I got nothing but pure tone with plenty of sustain , which was pleasing to my middle aged ears ! Finish How did the stain or paint job look? I love the Matte Black finish along with the XV inlay and the White Cross outline . Definately adds a touch of class to it. Action How was the action out of the box? Very fast neck even though I have my action set a bit high , which is my personal preference .

Great guitar is all i have to say Your general opinion of this product. This guitar is very awesome for the price!! I love it and it's my main guitar of choice even ahead of two Gibson SG's and a Gibson V. It's pretty light and plays very well for metal. Only problem I had was I tried putting a lockstrap system on it and the screw hole bottom part of the guitar was two big for the straplock system THEN the screws that came with the guitar were to fat for the system. Other than that this guitar is easily a A-! Only thing keeping it from being an A+ is the pickups. I suggest maybe Duncans or EMG's in this bad boy and you'll have one awesome rock machine.

Finish How did the stain or paint job look? the finish is great been a year and still dont have a scratch on it. Action How was the action out of the box? great look and style if you want a guitar to make people approach you and say what a beautiful axe you have then this is the one(i threw a diamond plated pickguard on mine just recently and it really brings the goth look of the guitar out i reccommend it to anyone). Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? product is durable so far no major drops to it yet but i can depend on it to be there for me when i want to play for hours on end. Reliability How has it stood up over time? Ive only had this guitar for a little over a year and it hasnt failed me yet except for the input jack but it still works but i replaced it to save me more trouble. General Your general opinion of this product. i love this guitar for its look and feel for the price i paid for it the only problems i have discovered with this guitar is the 1/4" input jack backing and outside nut like to come lose after playing for a while and it eventually stripped out the threading for the nut(no big deal really just buy some new jacks get a pack of 6 for a reasonable price). Since it is a studio guitar it you do find yourself re-tuning every couple hours of playing. Playability and Feel How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing? its not to heavy feels nice in the hands, can move nicely up the neck quickly if you want to, the tone pots and volume pot is fairly easy to get to while playing would rather had the volume pot on top to help with ghost notes but its adaptable. Tone Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? dark and smooth lows and mids but the highs are nice but can be a bit dull with the twangy sustain.
