Feature:
Really well put together with quality woods and hardware
Quality:
Only grough was it arrived with only one pickup working due to a dry solder joint. Surely this should have been picked up at QC? however the finish is superb. the instrument needed some decent strings, a little heavier than the stock strings it arrived with, and a set-up. but then alll guitars benefit from those sort of things.
Value:
expensive, but cheaper than many quality guitars of it's type
Desirability:
A truly quality piece of work. I look after it and treat it well.
Sound:
Given that "jazz box" guitars have a distinctive sound, this one gives out well. the slightly different top from most such guitars also allows it to give you something a bit brighter than you'd expect
Ease of Use:
very easy to play, somethings high up the neck require re-working due to the finger board being a 22 fretter
Support:
No need to comment, the above mentioned wiring problem was quickly dealt with by my excellent local luthier.
Overall:
I wouldn't willingly part with this guitar. not to say that I might get others, I already have a 335 and this complements it well

Feature:
Basic humbuckers and volume/tone. Grover tuners.
Quality:
I think everything is fine.
Value:
It is expensive. I think it is worth it.
Desirability:
This is the coolest looking guitar I've ever owned. Very cool. Lot's of mojo.
Sound:
This is where this guitar shines. This guitar is capable of a wide variety of sounds--cool jazz to rockabilly. One problem: feedback. Be careful. I'm getting some Doug's Plugs for the f-holes. Furthermore, mate this guitar with a tube amp.
