"Set it up with bone and its a slide players dream."
Feature:
Cheapo plastic saddle and nut. replace them with bone and your set.

Quality:
Made well enough for slide playing.

Desirability:
Just looks cool setting in its stand and even cooler when being played. Love the f holes.

Sound:
Not as load as I would have liked. I replaced the cheapo plastic saddle and nut with bone. Wow what a differance. It sounds much better. Iwill probably replace cone someday. I love the F holes. I am a Fender guy.

Overall:
Plan to keep for a long time.

"Must have for lead players of all genre!"
Rated quality 4 because of custom luthiers. They must be entered into the equasion. Matches quality of any over the counter resinator guitar. I tried many befor I setled on the Black version of this beut'. The Black doesn't detract from the F shaped f holes at all.
Excelent for 'round the "campfire" lead playing, and I hardly ever use a slide.
Only drawback is plastic bridge, but that's worth little mention.
