Quality
Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable?
This guitar is made of solid mahogany...how can it not be high quality? Also it goes through quality control (at least mine did), which Squiers do not.
Reliability
How has it stood up over time?
I have had this guitar 6 months now, and i can safely say it is just like the day i brought it home, except for a string change!
General
Your general opinion of this product.
this guitar has it all! overall, IMO it beats a Gibson Les Paul Standard...at a fraction of the price!
Playability and Feel
How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing?
the guitar is heavy, as are all Les Pauls...but that makes it sound that much better...very easy to play much easier than my Ibanez acoustic (obviously but besides the action the fretboard is much more smooth)
Tone
Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin?
the pickups are perfect as they come...the sound can be as thick or thin as you want, that really depends on your amp for the most part but in general a bit thicker and darker since it has dual humbuckers.
Finish
How did the stain or paint job look?
Finish is just as good as a real Gibson. The picture doesn't do it justice!
Action
How was the action out of the box?
I can't say how it came originally since i bought it locally and the guy I bought it from had already taken it to his luthier for a setup.

this guitar is beautifully designed and plays nicely. Stays in tune, and sounds great. i would highly recommend this guitar for everyone.
Playability and Feel

This is a heavy guitar (as are most lp guitars) but that adds to the tone so live with it. It has a fast profile neck and all the adjustability you would expect in an LP
Tone

Classic humbuckers
Classic tone from nice cleans to overdrive classic rock.

This is a beautiful guiter
Action

Not great, But i adjusted the intonation and put new slinky's on it and now it plays great. Stays in tune well.

Playability and Feel

mercifully, it's not quite as heavy as a Gibson (no aching shoulders after hours of playing); neck was made for string bending

I've had mine for about a year and a half and it's held up to my punishment pretty good and i beleive it will withstand juss about anything as long as you don't purposely try to break it their juss flat out great guitars and i love them
General
Your general opinion of this product.
I've played strats telecasters and even a les paul but for the price these little silvertones are the best they sound great they feel comfortable to play and i actually think fender and gibson have some real tough compition cause no lie i would much rather have my silvertone before i would anything else !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Playability and Feel
How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing?
this guitar is so smooth and easy to play the neck is awesome the knobs are easy to get to while playin it's juss such an easy guitar to get use to playin but it is a little heavy bein a solid piece of wood that in the begining it will hurt your shoulder after a while if playing standing up but you'll get use to that after a while
Tone
Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin?
this guitar sounds great a buddy of mine has a les paul with B.C Rich pickups and this silvertone has juss about as good as a sound or if not a better sound but you know different people have different opinions but i still say a silvertone has great sound to it
Finish
How did the stain or paint job look?
the whole guitar was awesome you can tell that somebody put a lot of effort into makeing this guitar the paint is great the body is smooth it's juss a piece of artwork it really is
Action
How was the action out of the box?
when i first got my silvertone i wasn't to crazy about the strings on it but i was amazed when i first played it cause it had the same clarity as other guitars that cost thousands more it amazed me so i don't see why it wouldn't amaze anybody else
