I am satisfied with it and will keep it. It definitely fills a need. I don't think I'll ever have it as my only guitar on stage, I have much better, and better-sounding guitars.

Sound
Well, it doesn't sound like a Rickenbacker 12-string, but the sound did pleasantly surprise me. I was also pretty happy with the 6-string sound. The pickups are strong and somewhat quiet, but they are not top quality.

Features
I like the volume and tone knob setup, with a master volume and master tone for each neck. I wish they were a little more accessible. The toggle switches are well located and the guitar is very easy to operate. I purposely got the model that DOES NOT have the bolt-on necks.

Ease of Use
Basically, there are some nice advantages here, so I'll dwell on the negative. The first is the poor access to the high frets. Anything above the 15th fret is out of reach. The toggle switch that allows the player to have both guitars on at the same time isn't very practical - too much sympathetic vibration. It's heavy and doesn't set very well on the shoulder. I put a 2nd strap button behind the lower (6-string) neck and that made it more comfortable, but the strap prevented me from going past the 13th fret. Ya win some, ya lose some.

Quality
I was impressed with the workmanship. The metal parts are not top quality, but they are much more than adequate and… read more I've had no trouble with tuning machines, switches, pickups, etc.

Value
This is definitely worth the cost. I tried the Gibsons and they aren't THAT much better to warrant the immense difference in price.

Manufacturer Support
I haven't needed support, so I guess that makes it a 10.

The Wow Factor
It is very practical for me as I use a 12-string several times a night and sometimes I don't want to slow down the show so I can pick up a different guitar. I got a white one - - very nice looking.
