Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
I have played just about every brand of guitar that I can think of, even a coupl;e of decent Harmonys from the eighties before Gibson bought them, and this is by far the sweatest instrament that I have ever played. I bought the Ceyenne Burst and hope to get another in the other color. Cool electronics, fast neck, and great playability.
Sound
THe S-1 circuitry gives the guitar the sound of both humbucking and a nice set of hot singles.
Features
The flame maple top is top notch, great sound. The switching circuitry just puts the guitar over the top.
Ease of Use
Best playing guitar I have ever touched. If there is a better playing guitar, I must have it in my hands.
Quality
This guitar is like a piece of art. Every piece is perfectly fitted. The guitar sounded better after changing the strings, but didn't sound bad right out of the case. Which is a gold tweed and very nice quality.
Value
Best dollar to bang I hae ever spent.
