Quality
Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable?
The quality is unmatched - it's a Fender. I would consider it to be well-made and very dependable.
Reliability
How has it stood up over time?
I've only had it for a few days, but I would say it should hold up fairly well.
Overall
Your general opinion of this product.
I liked the guitar. I didn't love it, but I did like it.
Playability and Feel
How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing?
Feels fine, a bit different if you're used to a traditional acoustic. Controls are also fine, although the tuner seems a bit jumpy and not completely accurate.
Tone
Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin?
Dark. Not bright and snappy, which I was hopeful for and thus the reason I purchased it.
Finish
How did the stain or paint job look?
I love the gloss black, and the back of the guitar has some sort of paint bubble effect. I wasn't sure at first if it was a defect, but a defect like that wouldn't be overlooked. I like it, though.
Action
How was the action out of the box?
Like it just came out of the box. Not bad, but played a little rough for a bit.
