Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? I find the hardware to be top notch. The quick string bridge is nice and the tuning pegs do not slip. The EMG pick ups are of course top notch Reliability How has it stood up over time? General Your general opinion of this product. A great sounding a very playable guitar. The finish is superb!! 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 easy to play and the control knobs easy to reach. The guitar is pretty light and has good balance. The neck is great and gives you easy access to those notes you want to hit. Tone Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? With the EMG pick ups you can get anything from a deep fat sound to a cutting crisp. Finish How did the stain or paint job look? The finish on this guitar is amazing!!! I have had many people tell me this was one of the best guitars they have seen. Action How was the action out of the box? This guitar came strung with D'Addario's and the action was set up very nice. The intonation is spot on.
