Reliability How has it stood up over time? I've had it for 5 months, and its been amazing ever since, General Your general opinion of this product. AMAZING guitar, great sound, great feel, great everything. I've been playing for about 5 years, and I've owned this guitar for about 5 months now. Everything has been great. Playability and Feel How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing? Mid weight(about 10-15 Lbs). The body was pretty thin, but the neck is a bit thicker than other SGs, and it tends to bend a bit. So when your playing a chord or sustained note, you wanna be carefull not to move to much, or you'll cause it to bend. Tone Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? Mellow with a dark thick sound. Finish How did the stain or paint job look? Highly well done black satin finish. Not even a scratch on my model. Action How was the action out of the box? The action was suprisingly good. Didnt even really need to set it up.
