Quality
Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable?
excellent quality, dependable thus far
Reliability
How has it stood up over time?
unintentionally knocked it a few times, has yet to ding or scratch. Stepped on my cord and forgot to tuck it under the strap cuz I am a clutz and I didn't hear that horrible sound of the hole cracking around the plug in area, so I think this is a pretty hard wood. The electronics are doing well and the cosmetic additions are inlaid well, smooth finishes with no bubbles.
Overall
Your general opinion of this product.
I love the sound cocobolo wood makes. I play about 4-6 hours per week and play in a contemporary Christian worship band on Sundays where a few of our players played professionaly. They have played my awesome guitar and really liked it too, (even though they have the best of the best, I still see them pick it up from the stand at practice to play if I am not attached :) It is made well, the great attention to details (electrical and artistic) on the guitar is really remarkable for the price I paid. I still get out to try other guitars yet I gladly come home to my comfy Ibanez... if I had tons of money I do like this custom presentaion Taylor, blond inlaid wow sorta guitar, however, after reality settles in...I would buy this guitar all over again ... and even if I did win the lottery and got that other guitar, I would display and play my guitar with the best of the best and it would shine too.
Playability and Feel
How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing?
I loved the feel and the neck is a good size for my 'girl' hands to do bar cords easier.
Tone
Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin?
rich smooth sound yet plays the highs nicely
