"Sweet little thing..." submitted December 12, 2004

Musical Background: Play for fun - active musician
Music Style: blues, country-rock, jazz
Back to Product Information
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. 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. Overall: Great quitar for versatility. If you can only afford just one... this could be it!

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. Feature: It's a very basic 1 tone, 1 vol, 1 3-way setup, but it's very functional. Ease of Use: It's so light, yet solid. It's a pleasure to play for long periods. Quality: I was totally amazed at how well this was made, for such an inexpensive guitar. The fit and finish was outstanding. Manufacturer Support: NA The Wow Factor: It's a great little axe that plays great and looks clean. Overall: I own it and would get it again.

Back to Product Information
Sound: The stock humbuckers are fine for most applications. Reasonably good separation between the tone of the bridge and neck. Can do blues and rock pretty well. I wanted a bit more unique sound so I put Seymour Duncan Jazz in the neck and JB in the bridge and WOW... now it's a real crowd-pleaser. More Strat-like...very clear and rich. Feature: It's a very basic 2-pickup guitar with 1 tone / 1 vol and 1 3-way toggle. Having a second set of Vol / Tone controls would help with the range. When I swapped the PUPs I added a coil tap. Ease of Use: Plays GREAT!! That's why I bought it. Feels very comfortable. The neck is great. Frets are well-finished so they never snag your fingers. Controls are well-placed too. It's very light so you can play for hours standing, with no neck or shoulder fatigue. Quality: Was VERY pleasantly surprised by the overall quality of the workmanship. The binding in the f-hole is perfect. Everything was very precise and well-finished. Value: HUGE value for the dollar. At $400 it was a steal. Well worth it. Manufacturer Support: Never needed it. The Wow Factor: I like the color and finish. It's a handsome axe with nice touches like the inlaid neck and headstock shape / logo. Really a classy look. Overall: This is a GREAT guitar for the money. Crosses over for many styles of music. Could easily use this as my main guitar.
