Fantastic!
Playability and Feel

not overly heavy, the V neck is fast an playable ,controls or easy to reach and quick to change tones
Tone
Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin?
You can get the bright tele tone to the almost LP thick tone without pedals ,just a twist of the controls on the guitar!

Right out of the box I knew it was a winner....neck is great for smaller hands and the sounds coming out of this thing are unbelievable!!
Playability and Feel
How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing?
Very comfortable body..(typical Strat) Excellent neck with that satin finish it has more of a broken in feel. Set-up and intonation were dead on right from the case.
Tone
Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin?
The tone varies from clean and bluesy to solid crunch rock with just the 25db boost. Great response and easy to figure out if you know a little about guitars.
Finish
How did the stain or paint job look?
Fantastic Pewter finish...Beautiful!!
Action
How was the action out of the box?
Again, the set up and action were dead on right from the factory.

Your general opinion of this product.
i would not recomend this guitar to a beginer. there is just way to much to figure out and learn,
but would recomend it for any one who has been playing guitar.
Playability and Feel
How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing?
a little restricted on the bends, maybe i need to loosen up the tention, maybe because im used to the les paul studio.
Tone
Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin?
i think you can get any tone out of this baby, but you have to work for it.
Finish
How did the stain or paint job look?
i got the olympic white so its really hard to go wrong with that color, i dont love the pick gaurd color, also has a little bit of space between the pick gaurd and the guitar i guess they might have screwed it on to tight.
Action
How was the action out of the box?
to low the low e and a string are a little fuzzy. maybe some people like that sound i dont. but this can be adjusted.
intonation a 1/8 off on the d and b strings.
not that big a deal.
