"good guitar for the price( finding a case for it,a different story)"
Feature:
I consider the tremlo-bar a plus? I don't use it,but others might?

Quality:
I wouldn't say its the best made guitar? are the worst? Its a very good (guitar/value) guitar!

Value:
yes this product is worth its price.

Desirability:
I bought the orange,and its looks damn good !

Sound:
Its got the Twang Factor,sounds great,sounds even better in recording.Its not for every type of music but when it comes to (product/value)its a good deal !

Ease of Use:
Its like all guitars,trial and error on what sound your shooting for?

Support:
no i haven't.

Overall:
The reason i gave the guitar a 9 instead of a 10 is because you can't find a hardshell case for this guitar anywhere? the ones you do find,that will fit? cost almost as much as the guitar? Its crazy!!

"PUT YOUR HANDS ON THIS GUITAR AND SAY "MINE"!"
Feature:
Super and I too agree the tuners had me stopping for a minute...they are thin...would like a bit heavier cast set of tuners.

Quality:
Tuners...pickguard minor issue...clear?!? What's up with that!!??

Value:
Not cheap... but a good instrument.

Desirability:
Sex appeal...not to me! But eye appeal...100%

Sound:
I'm a bass player and I bought one...but really loved it when my friend came over and player it like it should be played! The sound is great very full and yet switching from strumming to picking does let the sound get buried.

Ease of Use:
The sound I get - is the sound I was looking for...and the ease of playing finished off the sale!

Support:
N/A

Overall:
I will keep it. I would only get another guitar that offers a different body and tone.
