Quality
Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable?
The finish is no where near the photograph. Silverburst is actualy darker.
Reliability
How has it stood up over time?
It was terrible right out of the box. So without some tlc and extra money spent on it; doubt it will be reliable in a year.
Overall
Your general opinion of this product.
Not only was I dissapointed with the finish; the buzzing didn't make it any better.
Playability and Feel
How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing?
it has a fast neck and low action; but that means nothing when there is buzzing going on all over the neck.
Tone
Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin?
The pickups are realy good; again when the neck is buzzing all over the place still means nothing.
Finish
How did the stain or paint job look?
Dissapointed with the finish; was not as described.
Action
How was the action out of the box?
Just horrible; had it taken to a local music store for re-adjusting and still didn't improve it by much.
I can't believe I just spend this much money on a dud. I realy can't blame AMS or the guitar; I didn't notice the very low rating (3) untill After I purchased it. My last resort is going to be a nut replacement. If that doesn;t help; I am going to let this guitar go.

Not What I Expected

The one I recieved has a few issues. The Finish (Gray Burst) is a lot darker than the one in the picture; almost black. There is a buzzing issue and the nut which is plastic is not even. I am hoping a little re-adjusting will solve this issue.
Reliability
How has it stood up over time?
I just got it and already had neck issues right out of the box. So I realy won't know untill the neck has been re-adjusted.
Overall
Your general opinion of this product.
If you want a cheap guitar and don't mind the need for re-adjustment; then go for it.
Playability and Feel

The action is low and feels fast; would have been perfect if it wasn't for the buzzing.
Tone
Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin?
The pickups sound great and if your into metal; these pickups will deliver.

The finish didn't look like the one in the picture.... a bit disappointed.
Action

Action is low and fast.... means nothing if you have buzzing going on.
