Feature:
Well this is a Studio model,so you're getting a stripped down, no frills model which is just fine by me. My only gripe and it's a minor one, is that instead of the dot inlays, I would've preferred having block inlays on the neck. Other than that,this guitar is just fine and besides, mine is a limited edition custom shop, alpine white model.
Quality:
Here's where I encountered some problems when I took it home. It wouldn't stay in tune and that's because when it left the factory in China, it wasn't setup properly. The intonation along with the string height and the pickups needed to be adjusted. Once I took care of all that, I was amazed at how well it sounded and at how it stayed in tune. The Grovers do their job very well and the guitar in itself is well made. There are no issues at all with the frets, electronics, imput jack or the 3 way pup switch at all. This one is a keeper.
Value:
Definately worth the $349.99 that I paid for it.
Desirability:
I love the Artic White finish on mine and seeing that it's a Limited Edition makes it more desirable.
Sound:
I've heard complaints where either people have swapped out the pickups or have complained that they just don't sound good. Phooey! These pups sound really good. All you have to do in order to get them to sound to your liking is adjust them along with the settings on your amp. Do that and you'll be okay!
Ease of Use:
For the last several years, I've been a Fender Strat player, so it took me a little bit to get used to the slightly thicker neck and shorter scale but once I did,I found that playing this guitar is a breeze. Even getting up to the higher frets is no problem for me. This is slowly becoming my favorite guitar to play. I absolutely love it!
Support:
I sent them a email complaining about the lack of quality in their setup and they immediately got right back to me apologizing and offered to send me another one, to which I told them no. I explained that I've been playing for over 36 years and that I do know how to do setups. I said that they should take some more time to train their people how to do a proper setup, to which they aagreed.
Overall:
I baby my equipment so this one will be with me a long, long time. I already have ordered a Epiphone HSC for it,which should be in tomorrow. If anything happened to it, I would definately go out and get another one.
