Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? The quality of wood, paint, and other hardwares are good but gold finishes tend to wear off a little. Its still playable! But don't worry too much about that! The bindings are well done. Reliability How has it stood up over time? Very reliable! As long as you take good care of it, it will be good to you! But make sure you carry a ranch with you since the jack screw kinda loosens up easily....and you dont want the jack to end up inside the guitar. But doesn't all guitars' jack loosen up easily? Overall Your general opinion of this product. Best sounding guitar you'll ever play. This is a MUST HAVE and a KEEPER for sure! It can play anything and very versatile! Playability and Feel How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing? Just awesome! It..."feels" right. It has a thin neck and almost feels like im playing an acoustic guitar. Tone Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? A lot of people said that they love the "mids sound" that it produces and I was like.."oh..cool." But until YOU hear it, you just won't know. The mids aren't just mids. Its like...mellow yet bright, soothing but crisp sound that the "mid" sound was reffering to. Its just the TONE I was searching for! My journey of search of tone is finally done! It's nothing like solid body guitars! Finish How did the stain or paint job look? It reminds me of a deep blue ocean...very calm and soothing. Its very touchy to my soul. Looking at it makes me feel like I'm breathing in fresh, cool air. The picture above doesn't do justice. You have to look at it for your self. Action How was the action out of the box? Action "out of the box" was not good. haha. The neck was bent in a "bow" shape so the action was low. It also had a lot of fret buzzes "out of the box." Glad this problem can be solved! Once you adjust the neck and the action of the guitar will follow.

Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? Guitar is very well made and quality is not a concern. So far it has been very dependable. Reliability How has it stood up over time? Going on three months and short of a broken High "E" string. There has been no problems. Holding up well. Overall Your general opinion of this product. It took a long time to choose my next instrument. Value verses cost for my personal objectives. This one truly fit the bill. From the looks of this beauty. To the various tones I get. This was the one for me. Debated for the longest time over the As73 or the As93. Glad I made the choice that I did. It is a little different than the strat I have played and did take some getting used to. It is larger. But those mellow mids, that I enjoy, resonate through this guitar. Quality is second to none for this price range. If you are looking for an all around guitar and not trying to break the bank. The AS93 is not a bad choice. 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 awkward at first, but so was marriage! The neck is Fast and playability is easy after making a few adjustments in my playing style. Controls are easy to use. Tone Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? Again the mids really resonate to me. They are really smooth. Pickups are bright enough. If you are for a Strat sound, then buy a strat. You can get a decent bright sound out of the pickups. But this thing rules a Jazzy, Bluesy, sound. Also real nice for a country sound. Finish How did the stain or paint job look? It was beautiful! Paint is deep and lusterous. No blemishes at all. It is though you can hear and feel it when looking at it. Action How was the action out of the box? It was setup and ready to go. Did have it tweaked to my liking after a couple of months. But it was fine out of the box.

Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? I consider it to be very well made. Money well spent... Reliability How has it stood up over time? Only had a week and a half but is very well made. It's a keeper. Overall Your general opinion of this product. Wow! Playability and Feel How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing? Not very heavy, not very light. Neck is fast and for me flawless. Controls are well placed and of good quality. Tone Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? The tone is just that...bright, snappy, heavy, subtle, biting,..well voiced guitar does most things well! Love it! Finish How did the stain or paint job look? Really nice. Action How was the action out of the box? Excellent.
