"The review of the instrument by its owner."

Feature:
I think it came with a short cable, which is useful with an electric tuner. It had strings I wonder which new guitars don't. The strings are OK but you might want to use the new ones of your favorite brand. 2 knobs for tone and 2 for volume. It is definitely a good ground for experimentation. The guitar itself is a great feature! All components were in a great condition. Well set, shiny and lovely! I just needed to tight a tremolo/rhythm switch. I guess it got loose during the transportation. Among others is a set-in neck. I like it because there are no bolts and the body feels very smooth. There are lots of fans of bolt-on as well. It is something you should decide for yourself what is better.

Quality:
This is the most surprising part. Great quality. It says on the sticker that it went through the quality control; so if you want to buy it don't be shy. It will probably come in one piece! :) There's nothing wrong, really. Everything works great, no repair needed.

Value:
Yes, ladies and gentlemen. This is an awesome value. For such price I won't be able to get anything better. I played a real Strat (which is more than twice expensive) and a new ESP, which I mentioned before, and I can surely say that I am very glad that I choose Silvertone SSL3.

Desirability:
It is a beautiful guitar. Great color and everything. The arched top is not as good as real LesPaul's but it is still a very nice one. I will repeat other people and say that picture doesn't give you even a half of its beauty.

Sound:
Great clean sound. I compared it to my friend's ESP of the same price range and the clean sound of this guitar was much brighter with many nuances... Good sustain, especially with distortion, note rings for a long time. It has some vibrato effect in it though, when you play chords with some distortion. It is not bad just some might not like it. I personally think that it is not a problem; it even adds some more feel to it. The guitar doesn't go out of tune easily. It stayed in my gig-bag over night and I almost didn't need to tune it again in the morning.

Ease of Use:
It is very easy to play this guitar indeed. I like frets and the rosewood fingerboard. No complains here. It is very easy to slide or play taping. You might need to adjust the action. Mine was a little too low. It was fine for the beginning. I will adjust it a little when I would need to put new strings on.

Support:
I never dealt wit the company and I hope I will never need to.

Overall:
I think I will stay with this guitar for a very long time. I will try to keep my eyes on it and take a great care. I don't give nine because nine for me would be something like a custom made guitar, which would exactly be the way I want. I don't give ten because I don't believe in perfection. I played an acoustic guitar for some time and always wanted to have an electric one. I started to plan my purchase a long time ago. I wanted to get something very good but for a decent price. Finally, I got it!

"Awesome."

Feature:
It came with a small 2 ft. cord which can be useful, and i read a review that said the tone knobs do practically nothing.... and thats what the do they might as well be on/off switches.... dont get me wrong its still an amazing guitar!

Quality:
I inspected every inch when it first came in, andi was amazed. No blemishes or loose parts at all.

Value:
Again, it is a sound vs. price battle and you win in both.

Desirability:
My friends are amazed on how beautiful it is.

Sound:
Great, its an amazing deal when it comes to price vs. sound.

Ease of Use:
Very easy to use, its shorter than most typical guitars and i was suprised in the shape of the neck, it is deeper/rounder than i'd expected.

Support:
I do not expect to need to call them.

Overall:
I'll play this guita for years to come.
