Overall I'd have to say that I'm very impressed with this guitar and if anything were to happen to it I would surely buy another one!! Great looks, great sound, well built, a great buy for the money you can't go wrong with this guitar!!! And it's a Silvertone!!!!!

Sound
I truly love the variety of sounds that the SSL3 gives me! My favorite is the rythm pickup positon, my crate sounds more bluesier with this guitar. And I really love the way the sound changes the sound of the distortion of my crate! I can hear a little Tom Schulz sound (Boston)!! Overall I truly love alot of the sounds this great little guitar brings to the table!! The pickups are surprisingly quiet and seem to pick up alot of youre playing nuiances!

Features
The little cable that came with the guitar would be good for a switch cable. The machine heads hold very well and the guitar stays in tune quite well!! The guitar overall feels very solid and well built!! The knobs feel very smooth when yoy play with the tone and volume. My only complaint is that I had to go in and solder a wire on one of the volume pots! It was barely hanging on and it was causing a short that you could hear while playing!! Everything else seems to be of very good quality. And I'm very impressed with the pickups on this guitar!!! I didn't think they would sound so good!!

Ease of Use
It's very easy to get a variety of sounds from this great read more little guitar. I had to adjust the action to my liking was about all I had to do to get started playing it was set too high. The strings that came with the guitar feel pretty good, I'll stick with these for a while

Quality
This guitar is very solid and made quite well! I love the maple top with the cherry sunburst finish, there were a few little cosmetic flaws but nothing to complain about considering the price of the guitar and all you get for that price. I would not hesitate on playing this guitar in front of anyone!! I'd be proud to show it off!! And I think this guitar will last me for quite some time!!

Value
I have to admit that this guitar seems to be as good as the Epi. L.P.'s if not better, whitch are alot more expensive!! I'm just glad the Silvertone is cheaper so I could afford to buy it!! I'm glad that I bought this guitar!!!

Manufacturer Support
I haven't contacted them so far.

The Wow Factor
I actually was looking for a good practice guitar to play around the house with so I could save my Schecter C1 Classic and my Takamine from any wear and tear! And I just so happened to stumble on a great guitar buy!!! I think this beauty is going to sit along side my other little treasures and I'll have to look for another good practice guitar!! And as far as sex appeal of this guitar I don't see how it could hurt my chances considering how good it looks!!
