Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? Yes, it is well made. Reliability How has it stood up over time? I just played it in a store several times and like it. General Your general opinion of this product. It's not only great to practice at night, but looks awesome on stage. For live performance the main advantage is that you will get no feedback at all. The LR Baggs pickup system already sounds natural without using the build in effects! Playability and Feel How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing? Plays just as good as a quality built western acoustic guitar. The frets let's you play even faster i.e. for finger picking. Tone Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? You can adjust the tone with the build in low and high eq, but for me it sounds best when leaving the knobs in the neutral position. The sound without using the build in effects is natural and well balanced. Having the effects is right in the guitar is an awesome advantage! They sound great as well. Finish How did the stain or paint job look? The finish of the silent guitars I have played in the store are 9 out of 10 I would say. Action How was the action out of the box? Very well
