Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? This guitar was made very well for a mass made product. Customization is worth the investment if you so choose. Reliability How has it stood up over time? So far, so good... Overall Your general opinion of this product. Bought used in mint condition for $200.00 and was quite impressed once it was set up properly. The neck/truss adjusts very smooth and precise. Always stays in tune and the Floyd tremolo works just fine. Very low action, wide range of crispy to mellow tones. Excellent harmonics also! After reading other reviews of this guitar, I have the feeling I may have been very lucky and found a one in a million guitar at this low price. The one con about this guitar is the volume pot. Volume is really only good for on/off use. Hand wolume swells do not work well if at all. Playability and Feel How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing? Feels like it looks, a strat. Better than my strat even. Very straight and comfortable neck. Don't like the location of the pickup selector switch, it gets in the way when picking closer to the neck sometimes during strumming. Volume pot needs replacing, cheap Chinese junk pot. Tone Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? "Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin?" Yes! All of the above! Finish How did the stain or paint job look? A natural finish is always good. Action How was the action out of the box? Almost too low!
A weak licensed Floyd Rose.

Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? Except for the Floyd Rose (licensed cheapo) Reliability How has it stood up over time? It's holding up well as I haven't been playing it until I get an original Floyd Rose or just sell this one. Overall Your general opinion of this product. Everything is alright with this guitar except the cheap, cheesy licensed Floyd Rose. One needs to buy an Original Floyd Rose (Shaller) German made to correct this cheap thing which one can toss in the trash. Playability and Feel How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing? It's not going to be playable until the licensed Floyd Rose is out of there. It will not stay in tune. Too late I learned that almost all of the "licensed" Floyds will not stay in tune. Tone Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? I preferred the dark and smooth. Finish How did the stain or paint job look? Stain job was beautiful. Action How was the action out of the box? The action totally sucked when it came out of the box. The strings on the high end of the neck were a good 1/2 inch from the neck.
