Tone Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? For me, it is all about tone. This guitar sounds fantastic and has very good volume. I don't know if the cedar top sounds better, but I am very happy with this guitar. Finish How did the stain or paint job look? A very beautiful guitar! Action How was the action out of the box? Not an expert player, but the action seems very good.

Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? This is a very fine guitar. The rosewood on the sides and back is stunning. The "rose" inlays are a nice touch. Reliability How has it stood up over time? Plays better the older it gets. Overall Your general opinion of this product. This is a great guitar for the price, plays along side of $6,000.00 guitars all day long. It is a custom Ramirez, what more can you say. Playability and Feel How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky?
