Is that it's beyond good! I chose this one over something pricier. I wasn't sold on how it looked but I always watch a billion reviews before buying something. This guitar sold itself. Even the most he at reviewers didn't have much bad to say about it. The tone is very, very clear. The humbucker can do a lot of sounds and when you split it it's got a great vintage sound. Plenty of mid range and not as bright as my strats and teles. I'd say if you play everything but the heaviest of metal this one guitar can do it. It sings and it will scream! Enough typing got to get back to playing it.

Musical Background:

Sort of semi pro.

Musical Style:

Rock jazz blues gospel and hard rock

I love playing this guitar. The tone is so clean and pure. It's a very light guitar. The finish on the neck feels great under my hand. My only complaint is that when I'm playing and my fingers get a little sweaty it's difficult to pull up on the push/pull knob. This guitar is a great guitar for the value. I wish it had a hard case, but it comes with a truss rod adjustment wrench, and Allen wrenches for the bridge.

Musical Background:

Been playing for 12 years. Play professionally.

Musical Style:

Country, blues, rock

I waited almost a year to review; i bought this guitar in june, 2015. I had trouble with the pickup toggle switch not connecting after one month. Today, same trouble with push/pull knob... electronics are garbage. Light weight. Versatile tones. Tuning keys are GREAT. Intonation is easy to set. I don't know if it's the near weightlessness or the bad electronics (maybe both) but even though I do like this guitar, I do not feel like it's worth $1400. I never requested manufacturers support but still had to rate it...so I guessed at 3 stars.

Musical Background:
