General
Your general opinion of this product.
Big bang for your buck.
Playability and Feel
How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing?
ery fast smooth satin neck allows quick hand movement up the scale. Controls are fine. The built in tuner is a bit slow from string to string. But it is quite accurate.
Tone
Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin?
All of the above. Solid spuce big top gives it a bright, bassy sound. This baby sounds nice. The Sonicore p/u under the saddle has a nice mellow sound to it plugged in.
Finish
How did the stain or paint job look?
Beautiful. It has a very blonde look to it, nice.
Action
How was the action out of the box?
A little high. I set it up myself and adjusted the neck a bit and filed down the saddle slightly. Now it plays like a dream.

Playability and Feel
How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing?
This guitar is light in weight, so fast. And the neck being satin makes it very smooth to play all the way up the scale. The controls are easily acessible. The tuner is a bit slow reacting to string change, but if your patient with it, it seems to be fine.
Tone
Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin?
All the above. Pick up system is mellow.
Finish
How did the stain or paint job look?
Natural and very well done. Pretty close to a blonde looking guitar. Very nice to look at.
Action
How was the action out of the box?
A little high so I took the saddle down a bit. Now it plays real easy.
