Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? This guitar is well balanced and the internals are nicely kept. Haven't had it for long but i see it lasting for quite some time. Reliability How has it stood up over time? It has been great so far and i see no defect or reason it would lose any durability. General Your general opinion of this product. I started with two F-series ltds and felt it was time for a body change. Decided on the V style and am loving it! the first V i've owned and played. Playability and Feel How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing? It is lighter than you would imagine. the fretboard has good fast action and the tones are amazing. Tone Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? Great for chunky breakdowns, epic solos, and melodic riffs. it can handle it all. the activated pickups were placed just right and screams ever so deeply. Finish How did the stain or paint job look? Fantastic overall look! Action How was the action out of the box? Straight from the box it was already in tune. Pretty much plug and play and the fret action was smooth like butter.

Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? This product for its price is unbelievable, what with the The mahogany Body Excellent neck build and EMG pickups i feel lucky to have found this, Im really considering getting another one before the price rises, I love this guitar, and im positive with the attention to detail and build this guitar will outlive me. Reliability How has it stood up over time? Just barely got it so i cant give an honest review yet but the way its built im sure its gonna last well... General Your general opinion of this product. I love this guitar, just got it and it plays like a dream...one of the best guitars i now currently own. Playability and Feel How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing? The guitar is suprisingly light for a mahogany body, which is great cause a V-shaped guitar shouldnt weigh a ton neither, The U-shaped Neck is exceptional, you would be hard pressed to find better neck quality and build in this price range this guitar neck is made for shredding, and fast riffing. The controls are Great the tone and volume knobs are nice and smooth, only problem some people may have is the bridge volume may be a little too close to the bottom of the strings (doesnt bother me by the way)but i love the 3-way toggle and two volume setup, this makes for a great killswitch. Tone Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? This Guitars tone is decidely darker but not too dark and warmer, thanks to the mahogany body and maple neck, this combo of tonewoods compliments each other perfectly (the dark mahogany with the bright snappines of maple)and the cherry on top is the excellent EMG Active pickups, These pickups were made for high gain applications (hot) but also are REAL clear not muddy at all. That being said this guitar is A METAL or HARD ROCK guitar and in this price range is without peer. Finish How did the stain or paint job look? The paint is also excellent, very glossy and smooth paint, not one scratch or ping etc. Action How was the action out of the box? The setup was awesome out of the box, low action but not low enough where it causes buzzing issues, the setup couldnt be better.
