"!!!AWESOME GUITAR SOUNDS BETTER THEN AVERAGE GIBSON LES PAUL!!!,LIGHT,COMFORTABLE, EASY TOO PLAY.SIMPLY INCREDIBLE SOUNDQUALITY"

Feature:
the satinfinish neck is awesome, its smooth with bonedry-hands and sweatyhands. the neck is little narrow so in combinatyion with the stin finish you really fly over the neck. the locktonwe tunomatic system is usefull as well,it also improves sustain and tone!!! body cut is very nice as it makes it way more comfortable to play sitting and standing!!

Quality:
i dont have it for too long but the finish is incredible. i got a custom shop version wich i havent managed to find on the internet yet. wich is very beatyful aswell.

Value:
sounds better then the average gibson les paul and costs hald the money!!!!!!

Desirability:
it simply looks ****** AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!! i got the custom shop version wich is in black cherry and chrome hardware. if god created a guitar IT WOULD HAVE BEEN THIS ONE!!!!

Sound:
the sound is just AMAZING. i even dare to say that it sounds better than most gibson les pauls. the tone is awesome. the clean sound is perfect and the distortion is powerfull but not hurting your ears. even harmonics are easy on this guitar

Ease of Use:
very easy to use simply incredible comfort of playing because of the lighter weight and smooth and thin neck

Support:
no experiences yet...

Overall:
i wont change anythign to it! wont put other pickups in it either!

"high value low cost all around performer"

Feature:
grover tuners hold/feel nice. otherwise straight forward. plus the gold hardware everywhere looks sweet w/ the color scheme.

Quality:
though the finish is excellent, it absolutely shines, some aspects of it seem like they're kind of thrown together. you get up real close and it seems kind of cheap. i think one of my inlays might be ever so slightly crooked. i'd say it's like a van gogh, far away looks absolutely beautiful get up close you see all the brushstrokes.

Value:
though you can get slightly cheaper guitars out there that sound "good" or at least adequate, at the typical price (almost everyone is at 499) there is ABSOLUTELY NO competition for this axe. you can get thinline or semi hollow products out there but unfortunatley they mostly sound like garbage. otherwise you're in the 7-800 price range for anything that compares.

Desirability:
this turns eyes. even mine every day and it's next to my bed. if it keeps on looking so good it might end up in it.

Sound:
great all around sound. there is little residual sound (noise from untouched vibrating strings) compared to other chambered or hollow bodies. it sounds great with healthy distortion and good for the clean channel. it doesn't sound knock your socks off amazing clean, but it isn't a guitar for that. it can do almost any sound you want it to.

Ease of Use:
fastest neck you can buy for this money. HUGE RECOMMENDATION: play this piece with 09 strings. i think you'll thank me. do that and your fingers will fly!!! it's light - makes you want to get up and jam all the time.

Overall:
i expect to have this guitar forever. it serves its purpose quite nicely. i can take it anywhere, want to lift it up and play it all the time, and if i ever gig, i will look professional. i see no reason to purchase a more expensive chambered guitar or even solid body for that matter. the only way i would pass this up might be for a chambered strat and only then because of the tremolo. even then i would still want to keep this one. you simply can not get a guitar that does all the things the ultra does for the price.

About This Product!
Description
From Our Catalog
The Ultra looks at first glance just like a Les Paul Standard, the world-famous icon for rock and roll music, but its mahogany body has strategically placed hollow cavities to make it not only lighter (about 5.5 lbs) but also more 'acoustic' sounding. Additionally, a belly-contour on the back of the guitar allows it to comfortably hug the player's body. With a slightly narrower nut (42mm as opposed to 43mm) on a very fast, satin-finish neck, this is truly an Ultra-friendly guitar. It comes in a classic, faded cherry finish with gold-plated hardware.
