Reliability
How has it stood up over time?
General
Your general opinion of this product.
Compared to other guitars that I have owned this guitar far exceeds in quality of materials and construction, playability and most importantly tone. Now I do not want to play my custom Slash LP, EJ strat or jackson rr24.
Playability and Feel
How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing?
Very fantastic playability, for my size hands (large) it suits me very well. My EJ Strat also has exceptional playability - actually even better on the lower frets AND has great tone but still not as good as the Tremonti.
Tone
Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin?
The tone is pure sweetness.
Finish
How did the stain or paint job look?
I purchased with no real pictures of the actual guitar (maybe PRS should photo each guitar), so the finish was not as symmetrical as other pics I have seen but I would prefer that anyway.
Action
How was the action out of the box?
I was very skeptical about the setup - from not so perfect setups from the other guitars I have purchased. BUT I must say I'm truly impressed with this setup, The intonation was right on and the string height was actually right on as well "no fret buz". - 12th fret roughly 3/64
