Action
How was the action out of the box?
Action was ok, not what I would be happy with so I tweaked it a bit.
Quality
Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable?
No problems with it, other than replacing the screws on the electronics interface on top as they have rusted in this Florida humidity.
This guitar seems about as impervious to harm as a guitar can be...
Reliability
How has it stood up over time?
I have used this as my primary gigging guitar now for about 2 years and I'm still in love.
General
Your general opinion of this product.
People ask about it all the time. Everyone is pleasantly impressed with the sound, plugged in to my Fishaman solo amp.
Playability and Feel
How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing?
Light, small, feels alot like an electric guitar, which is what attracted me to it in the first place.
Tone
Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin?
I have found that some strings are too bright for this guitar. It has a brightness all its own. I love the sound of Martin FX strings on it, but I break them too easily, so I use John Pearse Phospher Bronze and like the sound and strength.
Finish
How did the stain or paint job look?
N/A Flat black is perfect
