Feature:
I wish it had nothing different, maybe its too pretty. I'm glad they didn't try to replicate the Gibson headstock because I am proud to be getting such sounds when I gig.

Quality:
To say this is a pretty guitar with no flaws is an understaement uners allows hold, knobs tight even the cable input is holding!

Value:
Hard to believe.. As other reveiwers have stated.. better get one while the gettin is good. Last LP I had was a gold top with soabar p-90's.. this one eats the Goldtop alive

Desirability:
Well, honestly I was looking for a cheaply made guitar for gigs..never never exspected this quality of sonics or how well made it it.

Sound:
Let me just say that this Silvertone far surpasses what I exspected. I am no stranger to high end guitars, I kept reading.."buy one before they raise the price or you can't get one." True to what the reviewers said my 3 main outlets each had 1 left.My use for this guitar was truthfully to have a cheapie guitar to perform like the bluesman of yester-year. Thru the either hated or loved epi Blues 30 I got fender squak from the middle out-of-phase great treble high freq from the bridge without blood coming out you ears and even some Gibson Jingle Jangle.This is the 1st time I ever used 9's for open tuning... its to much.. really great. I style is finger picking, just the flesh or fingernails with a slide on my pinky. Just like the others said.. better get one now before they put a Gibson logo on it.

Ease of Use:
As I said, 9'-maybe 46. Fast, I don't want to put it down. Comfortable weighted

Support:
Never dealt with Silvertone.. have had many acoustics over the years that all held together, altho I don't know where they were made. This is a heavy duty built guitar.

Overall:
I have already made a home for it. My two guitars are a cheap ..a studio epi but with great pups, great for burnside Kenny Brown slide.. The Silvertone can take me almost everyplace, I esepcially enjoy getting a Junior Kimbrough type sound.

Feature:
I think it came with a short cable, which is useful with an electric tuner. It had strings I wonder which new guitars don't. The strings are OK but you might want to use the new ones of your favorite brand. 2 knobs for tone and 2 for volume. It is definitely a good ground for experimentation. The guitar itself is a great feature! All components were in a great condition. Well set, shiny and lovely! I just needed to tight a tremolo/rhythm switch. I guess it got loose during the transportation. Among others is a set-in neck. I like it because there are no bolts and the body feels very smooth. There are lots of fans of bolt-on as well. It is something you should decide for yourself what is better.

Quality:
This is the most surprising part. Great quality. It says on the sticker that it went through the quality control; so if you want to buy it don't be shy. It will probably come in one piece! :) There's nothing wrong, really. Everything works great, no repair needed.

Value:
Yes, ladies and gentlemen. This is an awesome value. For such price I won't be able to get anything better. I played a real Strat (which is more than twice expensive) and a new ESP, which I mentioned before, and I can surely say that I am very glad that I choose Silvertone SSL3.

Desirability:
It is a beautiful guitar. Great color and everything. The arched top is not as good as real LesPaul's but it is still a very nice one. I will repeat other people and say that picture doesn't give you even a half of its beauty.

Sound:
Great clean sound. I compared it to my friend's ESP of the same price range and the clean sound of this guitar was much brighter with many nuances... Good sustain, especially with distortion, note rings for a long time. It has some vibrato effect in it though, when you play chords with some distortion. It is not bad just some might not like it. I personally think that it is not a problem; it even adds some more feel to it. The guitar doesn't go out of tune easily. It stayed in my gig-bag over night and I almost didn't need to tune it again in the morning.

Ease of Use:
It is very easy to play this guitar indeed. I like frets and the rosewood fingerboard. No complains here. It is very easy to slide or play taping. You might need to adjust the action. Mine was a little too low. It was fine for the beginning. I will adjust it a little when I would need to put new strings on.

Support:
I never dealt wit the company and I hope I will never need to.

Overall:
I think I will stay with this guitar for a very long time. I will try to keep my eyes on it and take a great care. I don't give nine because nine for me would be something like a custom made guitar, which would exactly be the way I want. I don't give ten because I don't believe in perfection. I played an acoustic guitar for some time and always wanted to have an electric one. I started to plan my purchase a long time ago. I wanted to get something very good but for a decent price. Finally, I got it!

Feature:
It came with a small 2 ft. cord which can be useful, and i read a review that said the tone knobs do practically nothing.... and thats what the do they might as well be on/off switches.... dont get me wrong its still an amazing guitar!

Quality:
I inspected every inch when it first came in, andi was amazed. No blemishes or loose parts at all.

Value:
Again, it is a sound vs. price battle and you win in both.

Desirability:
My friends are amazed on how beautiful it is.

Sound:
Great, its an amazing deal when it comes to price vs. sound.

Ease of Use:
Very easy to use, its shorter than most typical guitars and i was suprised in the shape of the neck, it is deeper/rounder than i'd expected.

Support:
I do not expect to need to call them.

Overall:
I'll play this guita for years to come.

Feature:
the pick ups were wonderful i thought it was a great guitar

Quality:
i have one from at least the seventies and it is very sweet sounding

Value:
the best sounding for the besst price and the look is beautiful

Desirability:
the style of gibson and the sound holes are beautiful and add a bluesy appeal like i am deep

Sound:
well i woul loosen up on the bridge maybe change the style

Support:
i has held up with heavy usage and with the proper care you will have it

Overall:
forever

Feature:
I like the short head..... shorter than the Les Pauls (which helps it from hitting things when moving). And the two tone and volume make it so you can set it the way you want it to sound.

Quality:
The guitar is beautiful. Minor defects.. (chipped fret markers) but hardly noticable. And it doesn't scratch easy.

Value:
The guitar is easily worth hundreds more. My friend has a Gibson. He would rather play my Silvertone.

Desirability:
Looks great, plays great, slides easy, and is tough. Great guitar to own.

Sound:
The sound is great. Even with high gain theres no static or feedback. The pickups help deliver a heavy metal sound without the "fuzz" in the background.

Ease of Use:
Extremely easy. Plug in and shred.

Support:
Havent needed it. And that's great.

Overall:
I hope this guitar lasts forever. I would definently replace it with the same guitar if anything happened to it.

Feature:
it didnt need any accessories

Quality:
pretty well except the colume control thing fell off

Value:
i thing it should be worth more. this is a great deal

Desirability:
chicks dig it

Sound:
it sounds great with a good amp

Ease of Use:
its easy to hold on your lap

Support:
good

Overall:
awesome guitar

Beautiful wood and rich warm sounds.
Well balanced and bitchin' to play.
Action is excellent and allows me to play for hours!
I keep it within reach at all times!
Great value at the price!

Feature:
The parts and materials used for the SSL3 seem to be of top quality. To produce the great sound it has, it all has to come together, which it does.

Quality:
I am surprised at the quality of this guitar. The cherry sunburst finish is beautiful. Solid with a little weight, it feels expensive. A couple very minor imperfections, not even worth mentioning. If you take care of it, as you should, it will last forever.

Value:
The Silvertone SSL3 is worth every penny I paid for it. The look and sound of it could cost a whole lot more.

Desirability:
It's shaped like a Gibson Les Paul. A very desirable guitar that not everyone can afford. The SSL3 is the next best thing. The cherry burst finish is beautiful. The shape, visual appeal, quality, and price, are this guitars features that you want.

Sound:
The Silvertone SSL3 is my first experience with humbucking pickups. I would characterize the sound as warm, mellow, and great sustain. I use it with a Crate amp and the rich sound from this guitar is so fine. With any pickup or tone combination, this guitar is amazing.

Ease of Use:
The SSL3 is very playable. The string height, the easy location of the volume and tone controls, the body shape, the feel of the neck, all contribute to this guitar's easibility to play.

Support:
Never needed any service or support.

Overall:
The SSL3 is number 5 in my collection so far. I now have a wide selection of sounds with it and my Rickenbacker 320, Epiphone Casino, Fender Strat., and Martin acoustic. I would not replace my SSL3 with anything. It stays with me.

Quality:
Especially for the money! great workmanship, love the frets-polished/very smooth-no jagged, sharp frets makes moving about-especially those power chords very easy!! Great finish too! I just cant get over how great this guitar is for the price! What else is there to say except I would recommend this guitar to any one at any level of playing.

Value:
See above

Sound:
The sound is good! Humbuckers whale! Very nice volume controls.This is a great axe for classic rock style-clapton, Page, etc.

Overall:
I like the way it plays and looks best. There is a string buzz with the lower strings that shows up when you play without an amp. I had it set up at a local shop to see if they could get rid of the buzz-they couldnt, but assured me that it was not a big deal. I would still like to get rid of the string buzz however. Then I would say I owned a perfect guitar. Now I cannot say that
