"Amazing value for money"

Overall: 4.5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
I am pretty satisfied with the guitar. It makes me sound so much better than I am and I can impress with ease! I might wear it out, but I will probably wear out my fingers first. I could be persuaded to take home a Gibson or a Fender, but theres no guarantee I wouldnt still reach for this baby first!

Sound
The sounds you can achieve with this thing vary from the sublime to the ridiculous! The good effects are awesome, but there are some ones in there that wouldnt be out of place in a sci-fi movie! Even without the effects, the guitar plays well through my Marshall practice amp.

Features
I got a real bargain. I think it was the last in stock and it was reduced to clear. it came with a strap, bag, extra strings, an effects pedal and a pair og headphones (much to the delight of my wife!)

Ease of Use
Once you get used to the controls, the sounds just come tumbling out. I have "banked" about 8 sounds I use regularly and this makes finding them as simple as toggling a switch or rotating the value knob. The manual isnt the best in the world, but is adequate given the intuitive nature of the controls.

Quality
In terms of quality, I can't fault it. I left the guys at Merchant City Music to set the guitar up... the said come back in half an hour... it was ready in 5 minutes. Its as sturdy as any budget priced guitar and better than a lot of branded axes I could… read more mention

Value
On the day I bought the guitar, I tried about 6 others, including a Les Paul, a Telecaster and a Yamaha Strat copy. Even the Ibanez I went in on purpose to buy felt less natural than this one.

Manufacturer Support
No need, and I have had the guitar over a year, playing every day.

The Wow Factor
I could live without this baby, but I sure would have to take up fishing! I could never call it sexy, but it sure feeeeeeels good in my hands! I have a friend who is a professional musician, and he loves the idea, although he thinks the effects would be much better mated to a better quality instrument. But guess which guitar he picks up every time we get together????
