Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? This guitar is very well made. I love it. Feels just right, like a normal Strat. Reliability How has it stood up over time? Just awesome. General Your general opinion of this product. This guitar is just amazing. It has Duncan Design pickups and they just sing. Crystal cleans. And add some distortion and it will blow you away. Playability and Feel How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing? The feel is like silk. Smooth up and down the neck. The thing just sings. Smooth whammy action too. Tone Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? The sound is just awesome, very nice clean tones, like bells. Like I said add some distortion and it is just awesome. The pickups are better sounding than my Fender Strats. Finish How did the stain or paint job look? Great. I have the vintage blonde model. Action How was the action out of the box? Perfect. Intonation is spot on.
