How was the action out of the box? IDK! Sorry Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? It stays in tune that's all I know so far. Reliability How has it stood up over time? I've used it every day for almost two months and it sounds great and still looks good. Overall Your general opinion of this product. I love the look and after I bought it I started to learn to play some simple stuff and it sounded OK but then I had a friend come over who plays guitar and he loved it. Playability and Feel How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing? I do like the 9.5 radious neck and the jumbo frets but again, I'm a noob! Tone Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? I use it with a Digitech RP500 and a Marshall fullstack and it sounds great to me. Finish How did the stain or paint job look? The three layer pick gueard and the sunburst in my eyes looks cool! The finish looks like a mirror.

Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? Seems to be well made however the tremolo arm won't screw in and the pots feel kind of rough when I turn them. The tuners are nice and when I bend strings it stays in tune. Reliability How has it stood up over time? HA! I've only had it for 3 days. Overall Your general opinion of this product. My current favourite guitar. 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 is perfect for me. The controls are where strat controls always are. Tone Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? Bright transparent strat tone with a little extra punch in the lead position. I've always had mixed feelings about HSS strats but it's nice to have that extra volume and punch in the lead position. Finish How did the stain or paint job look? Nice finish. Action How was the action out of the box? Action was decent. A little tweak might suit me better but the intonation is good and it stays in tune even witht he trem so I don't want to mess with it.
