"Room for improvement."

Feature:
The original Bigsby is nice and became more user friendly once the Grover tuners made way for the locking Sperzel's. Again the Mstr. Vol. control is as useful as tits on a bull unless you only want one particular sound and never play more than one song (all my amps have volume controls)

Quality:
Was absolutely blown away with the appearance of this beast. Got the limited edition Tiger Stripe with gold hardware and the finish is flawless. Set-up from the box was quite playable (we all have our own preferences)with the neck being fast, flat and smooth all the way. The ends on some of the fret wires needed to be deburred but no big deal.

Value:
Well worth the money spent.

Desirability:
If they had only gone with an abalone inlay or even a screen printed logo on the headstock instead of the GAUDY metal piece. I guess the extra mass adds sustain and this baby sings.

Sound:
P-90's are what they are and can get a set of tubes to really groove when cranked. Master volume knob, what's that all about? would have preferred a second tone control. Swapped out the stock tone pot with a Fender TBX and greatly increased the diversity of sounds this wounderful axe can emit.

Ease of Use:
Comes with appropriate size tools and well written instructions if a musician wants to play luthier.

Support:
Have not had the need for support. Warranty registration was a breeze on-line.

Overall:
It's a keeper now. A very versatile guitar that sounds wonderful clean and can handle the overdrive as well as any (semi)hollow body.

"Wildkat On Fire."

Feature:
The features are great, the Grovers, Bigsby, Set neck, F-holes all a plus, and of course the finish, it shines. The knobs are the key, just remember. The pickups are not easily adjusted, cause they are dog-eared, and some folks may thank that the neck pick up is a bit muddy, but the middle position is what the guitar is primarily made to be on and then adjust your highs and lows from there.

Quality:
Great Quality, can't beat the price or features unless you spend from at least 3-5 hundred more dollars.

Value:
Great value, worth every dime. I bought this guitar and it blew my mind!

Desirability:
Very Sexy, chicks dig it, guys want to have it. It is very curvy, voluptuous if you will, yet refined and classy.

Sound:
This guitar is perfect for country, blues, classic-current-and even hard rock. The P-90's deliever quite an expressive sound, very true to attack! It combines the sounds of 4 of my favorite guitars, a Les Paul, 335, White Falcon, and even a Tele! It is all in the knobs kids. By tweaking the tone and individual volume knobs you can either swing, or sting, its all there. Fo Rock or Metal players a noise compressor would be nice, cause it can feed back, but it really puts out aswell. Also locking tuners would be nice, that is if you over use the Bigsby like a Floyd Rose (which I have been known to do!). But overall from vintage to virtuoso it kills. The action is nice and fairly low, and it does require 10's, but I swear they feel as comfortable as 9's on the smooth wide neck.

Ease of Use:
Easy to get great diverse sounds, from Neil Young, Billy Duffy, Bill Gibbons, to Jerry Reed, Merle Haggard and Brent Mason.

Support:
Don't know, never had to use it.

Overall:
Overly satisfied, definetly what I was looking for and more.
