Feature:
The pickup selection is grand. One of the most versatile guitars out there. I play mostly blues/funk and like to spit the humbucker and combine it the single coil.

Quality:
So far so good... Tuning pegs are a little cheap. PUs hum a little.

Value:
This thing plays and sounds like a $1500 guitar. Incredible.

Sound:
I played my first gig with this guitar the other night and I was blown away by the sound. Nice and twangy and warm blues sound. Switch to the HB and you've got more of a rock sound. Play it clean it has a nice country sound. I've been playing for 20 years and I'm impressed. Great for Blues. I run it through an Epiphone amp and it sound like gold.

Ease of Use:
It's just a matter of experimenting with different sounds and PU selections.

Support:
Not sure about this one.

Overall:
I will use this a my main guitar from now on. Good job from Squier...
