"high value low cost all around performer"

Feature:
grover tuners hold/feel nice. otherwise straight forward. plus the gold hardware everywhere looks sweet w/ the color scheme.

Quality:
though the finish is excellent, it absolutely shines, some aspects of it seem like they're kind of thrown together. you get up real close and it seems kind of cheap. i think one of my inlays might be ever so slightly crooked. i'd say it's like a van gogh, far away looks absolutely beautiful get up close you see all the brushstrokes.

Value:
though you can get slightly cheaper guitars out there that sound "good" or at least adequate, at the typical price (almost everyone is at 499) there is ABSOLUTELY NO competition for this axe. you can get thinline or semi hollow products out there but unfortunatley they mostly sound like garbage. otherwise you're in the 7-800 price range for anything that compares.

Desirability:
this turns eyes. even mine every day and it's next to my bed. if it keeps on looking so good it might end up in it.

Sound:
great all around sound. there is little residual sound (noise from untouched vibrating strings) compared to other chambered or hollow bodies. it sounds great with healthy distortion and good for the clean channel. it doesn't sound knock your socks off amazing clean, but it isn't a guitar for that. it can do almost any sound you want it to.

Ease of Use:
fastest neck you can buy for this money. HUGE RECOMMENDATION: play this piece with 09 strings. i think you'll thank me. do that and your fingers will fly!!! it's light - makes you want to get up and jam all the time.

Overall:
i expect to have this guitar forever. it serves its purpose quite nicely. i can take it anywhere, want to lift it up and play it all the time, and if i ever gig, i will look professional. i see no reason to purchase a more expensive chambered guitar or even solid body for that matter. the only way i would pass this up might be for a chambered strat and only then because of the tremolo. even then i would still want to keep this one. you simply can not get a guitar that does all the things the ultra does for the price.

"It will deliver!"

Feature:
Not being used to two vol. and tone knobs made the guitar hard to figure out at first. After goofying around and understanding the setup, it become easier to manage.

Quality:
Nice looking guitar feels kind of small compared to my Charvel.

Value:
It is worth what they asked for, but could go for less. My vender dropped 100 bucks right off the bat.

Desirability:
Sexy guitar. It concerned me at first--it's beauty, but not any more.

Sound:
Deep and mellow. Not as hard as my Charvel Charvette, but overall once amp is setup, I can get what ever sound I want.

Ease of Use:
I wound not have believed it, but it is as fast as my Charvel. No manual! The guitar is very playable and friendly. THose who play fenders might have to learn how to hopd it differently, as the layout is more like an acoustic.

Support:
Had no need to contact them yet.

Overall:
This baby will stay and be passed along in the family just like all the others. This guitar will be my backup and use for none distored music. Those who really like to play, will like the product. To me it is a little bit to light. I like the feel of solid body and the wieght that comes with it. This guitar should make me a better player as it forces proper holding.

About This Product!
Description
From Our Catalog
The Ultra looks at first glance just like a Les Paul Standard, the world-famous icon for rock and roll music, but its mahogany body has strategically placed hollow cavities to make it not only lighter (about 5.5 lbs) but also more 'acoustic' sounding. Additionally, a belly-contour on the back of the guitar allows it to comfortably hug the player's body. With a slightly narrower nut (42mm as opposed to 43mm) on a very fast, satin-finish neck, this is truly an Ultra-friendly guitar. It comes in a classic, faded cherry finish with gold-plated hardware.
