Feature:
Could be nicer with twin volume and tones controls

Quality:
The finish was perfect. The tone pot needed some work - there was a short and it would "scratch" when moved.

Sound:
I love the clean, trebled neck tones for blues and jazz. The brige is fine for edgier stuff. I've tried different strings and use GHS Boomers (11) for a brighter but heavier sound.

Overall:
Great quitar for versatility. If you can only afford just one... this could be it!

Feature:
It's a very basic 1 tone, 1 vol, 1 3-way setup, but it's very functional.

Quality:
I was totally amazed at how well this was made, for such an inexpensive guitar. The fit and finish was outstanding.

Desirability:
It's a great little axe that plays great and looks clean.

Sound:
Nice tone for smoother stuff and blues. The bass can be a bit muddy. The difference between the pups is very clean and distinct.

Ease of Use:
It's so light, yet solid. It's a pleasure to play for long periods.

Support:
NA

Overall:
I own it and would get it again.
