Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? Bought as a benchmark guitar for my own builds. Weird heel size, but I get the need for stability. Would like to see a heeless model. No problem depending on this. Reliability How has it stood up over time? 5 months of non stop playing 2 sets of strings. No problems General Your general opinion of this product. Love this guitar Playability and Feel How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing? Neck is a little chunky, Fast as you want it, or can play it. Smooth no buzz intonation is spot on Tone Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? Custom SD soapbars ar first rate. Favorite combo is the neck middle. Jazz tones and ringing harmonics. Bridge middle is quite chimey as well. Fantastic blues guitar. Finish How did the stain or paint job look? Love the thin satin on the neck. Charcoalburst top is a ten all the way. Action How was the action out of the box? Set a little high. Threw some pure nickel tens on it an lowered the action.....buttah.
