Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? The frets were nicely rolled with no edges sticking out and the neck and abody have a nice weight to them. The stock tuners keep this baby in tune quite well and the 2 point bridge with the block saddles, is a added plus. Reliability How has it stood up over time? I got this over a month ago in a trade and it's held up pretty well. Overall Your general opinion of this product. This is definately worth the price tag and is reccommended for either a beginner or somebody on a low budget. Playability and Feel How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing? I like it. Tone Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? The stock pups were crap which is why I did the pickup swap. Finish How did the stain or paint job look? The Black finish is okay but, I took off the mirror pickguard and put in a Mint Green one along with the same color pup covers and switch & knob covers as well. Action How was the action out of the box? The neck is pretty fast on this guitar. But, I did have to do a full setup and intonation check.
