Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? I dont know what type of slave driving operation esp has going on but their quality control is superb no flaws anywhere Reliability How has it stood up over time? we shall see now wont we - now I learned this along time ago never gig with anything that you dont mind breaking, or getting beat up- I would cring a lil if this baby got a ding on her- though not the same as if it were a Gibson LP special - I see no reliability issues being a factor Overall Your general opinion of this product. Overall I am blown away the guitar looks, feels, and plays great the binding on the flame maple top is awesome- comes loaded with features ie quality tuners, emg pick ups and wood combinations that you find on pricer guitars Playability and Feel How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing? I cant seem to put this thing down, its no where near as heavy as a LP neck is a lil thinner than a 59 or 57 neck but I feel that in itself has opened up my playing dramatically Tone Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? Finish How did the stain or paint job look? AMAZING Action How was the action out of the box? uhm great for the strings they have on there I usually play heavier strings and had to adjust a lil obviously but outta the box you can expect great action and playability
awesome

Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? Very Well made and easily a dependable guitar. It's my main guitar for gigs and I have no worries that it won't be up to the task. Reliability How has it stood up over time? SO far so good. It stays in tune well and plays great. Nothing seems loose or so fragile that it can't be played like it was meant to be!! Overall Your general opinion of this product. Overall this is a fantastic guitar. No problems with it what so ever. Playability and Feel How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing? I'm not a shreadder so I like a little meat to my guitar neck. I think this strikes the perfect balance for me. Thick enough to help with the tone and sustain but thin enough to feel sleek and quick. Tone Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? It has that nice thick tone really close to waht you would get form a Les Paul, but the body is quite a bit lighter. When I first got it that was a concern but after plugging it in and playing with my band they all said how great it sounded. If you are playing heavy stuff it's hard to go wrong with EMG's. I especially like that it is the 81/60 combo. I love the attack of the 81 but the smoother mellow tone of the 60 is fantastic and really adds some versatility that you don't have with the 81/85 set up. Finish How did the stain or paint job look? The Flamed maple top with the trans black finish is great. Looks tough but still has a touch of elegance. I really like the black nickel hardware that come on this guitar, it really rounds out the look nicely. Action How was the action out of the box? Action was spot on, nice and low with out buzzing, even tuning down a full step like we do for our songs.

Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? I would definitely say this guitar was put together VERY well. Reliability How has it stood up over time? I've only had it for a little over a month and so far it's been very reliable. It stays in tune and needed no setting up out of the box, at least until I tuned it down to Dropped B. Overall Your general opinion of this product. Great guitar for a great price. Playability and Feel How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing? I played and Eclipse II at my local XXXX and it was light as heck but this one surprised me because it was too heavy for my expectations. When I started playing it more and moving around with it, it felt MUCH better cause when I "get low" it kind of balances me out. The strings that came with them feel good. They felt amazing brand new and feel better and better with each time I clean them. Tone Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? The guitar sounds very thick and chunky but it has also has a nice mixture of highs/mids to it Finish How did the stain or paint job look? I had gotten the Olympic White finish and it was amazing. The picture above looks amazing but it's nothing compared to the real thing. Action How was the action out of the box? The action was amazing but I play in Dropped B so when I tuned it down I had to have it set up.
