The product is made very well. Very dependable.
Reliability
How has it stood up over time?
I have not had it long but it is holding up!
Overall
Your general opinion of this product.
I love this guitar! It has a great tone. You can hear all of the notes. I have a couple of Ibanez RG's and I didn't think that the PGM300RE would stand out in comparison as much as it does.
Playability and Feel
How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing?
It feels heavy, fast and chunky. The controls take a little getting used to considering the location of the volume pot.
Tone
Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin?
Tone is bright and snappy and dark and smooth tones can be achieved depending on pickability. Notes are very clear.
Finish
How did the stain or paint job look?
Paint job looks good.
Action
How was the action out of the box?
I lowered the action a little but I may raise it back to eliminate fret buzz.
