""The charmer in desguise.""

Sound: Just what you should expect from a Jazz/blues guitar... mellow, deep, soulful... not necessarily depressing but meant to be easier on the ears. Feature: I just bought it not too long ago. Not too many people I know own it (or have ever ventured outside of the world dominated by strats). So, I don't have much of an idea to find something to compare it too. My model is used... the pickups and strings are custom, so that kind of curbs my experience from the original factory model... So far, no complaints. I gave it a 7 because I'm likely to be a little biased... time will tell. Ease of Use: Once again the strings are custom... i heard something about flat-line when they were lightly referred to. When your fingers slide from one fret to another, its practically unnoticeable. This I find to be most pleasing. Great sound quality no matter what I do with it. So far I have a hard time resisting the urge to fall in love with it. Quality: I have no idea how old this is or how much it has been modified (customized, repaired, and the like). So there isn't much of a factory standard to judge from... to my knowledge. It seems to be pretty reliable. In the small amount of time I've owned it, nothing has even hinted to be problematic. There was a rattling sound I heard coming from inside the body when I first bought it... turned out to be a forgotten pick (who knew). Value: I bought this thing at a discount music store for a mere $180.00. I expected to find one or two possibly mistreated or overlooked gems somewhere inside the store for a low price, but I felt specifically drawn to this model. I had no choice but to take advantage of this opportunity. Plus, its hard enough trying to find a hollow-body period, let alone one for that low of a price. Manufacturer Support: Don't know, i haven't been put into a situation where I've had to contact them. Besides, I have to take into account the fact that there is some noticeable customization throughout the instrument. The Wow Factor: Not too flashy but catches the eye when surrounded by racks full of srats, les pauls, sg's, and a few telecasters (if your particularly fortunate). Its simple but it leads you to believe that there is so much more to it once you hear it let loose. Think of it like the mature yet not too old man/woman. You can tell that it may look like its past it's prime, but there is a level of experience there that lets you know that your dealing with a real ladies man/cougar (whatever the case may be). There is a level of swagger that CAN NOT be ignored. Its still in its prime and can be expected to stay there if its treated properly. Overall: I need to spend more time to gain some true experience behind the wheel with this one. I am extremely impressed, but I want to make sure that this isn't just a passing phase. In time I will truly be able to either sing its praises or complain about my stupidity feeling justified in buying a truly cheap instrument (reaping what I've sown).

Style of Music: rock/blues/jazz/occaionally metal

"i have played silvertones for years. waited, and read reviews on this thing for months till i found one. [there are 2 different"

Sound: First, i have played only acoustic for 12 years. Mostly vintage silvertone. Hey i had to learn about adjusting the pickups after i got this thing. One of the pickup plate/things that goes around the pickups was backwords. It has a medium to medium/light acoustic sound when unplugged; which means it leans alittle more to the electric side [alittle smaller body then others] I run it through effects and it sounds awsome [well for my style]. By the way... The pickups are interchangable with gibsons etc. I don't see the need thou. Feature: ummm, i have never used one of those bigsby tremolas. i don't know if i would... but i might put one on there. Quality: First off... in waiting a few months for one of these- i learned that there are actually two different models. they have the same name, but one is a lighter red stain [with a larger headstock having 2 lines of machine heads runnig parrelel]; and the one i got having a much darker red stain [with a much smaller headstock having 2 lines of machine heads nearly running into each other. [[ = or > ]]. It has a very very nice clear coat finish, thou it appears dark maroon unless it is in bright light. I am not experienced with the wiring in guitars like this, thou i have seen pickups on auction boards that have heavy wires with heavy shielding on them. This guitar has thin plastic coated wiring. Maybe a noise thing? thought i'd mention that- and why only a nine. ouch Value: by far. I have been payin bookoo for vintage acoustics. this thing is the bomb. Manufacturer Support: nope, but i want to still give this thing as close to an all around 10 as possible. The Wow Factor: Its... slim and barebones. no fancy frills. nice nice deep red thou in the sun. over all- it will be on tv just like me. :) Overall: Well, i might at sometime explore other pickups and wiring possibilties [but hey, this would be a good idea on any gitar]. cause i am not an expert. but if i do- i will buy more of these for the road. cause its a keeper and i am keepin it all the way baby!

Style of Music: Alternative/rock playin with fingers zep melodic etc.
