Hope I will be satisfied for many years. It fills exactly my needs. Could'nt be more happy.
Sound
Plugged into a Peavey Bandit 112 ( Made in USA ) the sound was Jaws dropping...better, way ahead of my strat and a lot of Gibson I had play. I could'nt believe it. I had Epiphone Les Paul's ( 4 of them ) including an Ultra I loved, but there is no comparaison, this DEan is way, way, way ahead in every way. At this price range, I never saw a guitar that could get near that Soltero.
Features
Just read the features on the add. It got everything you need to rock.
Ease of Use
Play like a $3000 guitar...for $369...I still don't believe it.
Quality
Set up was perfect out of the box. No flaws at all. Really nothing negative noted. It looks very solid, but I always play with back up. I would never take a chance with no backup guitar...you never know what could happen.
Value
Before buying an Epiphone or any Les Paul clones, have your hands on this Soltero. It worth every penny I payed for.
Manufacturer Support
Never dealt with them...hope I won't have to...
The Wow Factor
First, I wanted a Humbucker guitar to second my main single coils Stratocaster. So I read a lot on internet and shopped around different guitar web dealers. This Soltero was $650 the less in every other dealer. I saw it on ZZouds for $369.00 so I decided to take a chance...It's the best move I ever did. The Soltero will be my main guitar from now on.

"A surprising value - top quality at 1/3 price!"

No reason to think it won't be a winner 10 years from now.
Sound
Has a nice bluesy sound - and the variability of the pickups allows you to modify the sound from one end of spectrum to the other, regardless of the variability of the amp. Love the throwback humbuckers; and the workmanship is really good.
Features
These components and the workmanship would be good on a guitar costing 3X as much. This may be the best guitar for the money out there. The parts, fretboard, neck, etc. are really nice.
Ease of Use
Broad variation is possible, especially with an amp that gives you even more options. The sound is very good.
Quality
this is superb quality. It is slightly heavier than I expected, but I can't believe the quality for the price. Nice touches, too, like the maple trim on the edges behind the gloss face.
Value
Absolutely.
Manufacturer Support
No contact.
The Wow Factor
It is definitely sexy - well-made, good looking, good sound.
