"good axe reliagble and can sustain well and doesn''t wilt"

Overall:

(see rating details)

For less than $500 this axe has really good projection and a good fast neck. The only thing that would be nice is if it had Grover tuners. Otherwise a great choice for someone like me who is on a budget but wants quality. This one delivers. My Guild d125 however costs about the same and is a little bit better sounding. But this one looks great with the highlighted abalone on the top. It rings out and is loud. I like this guitar and am glad that I bought it. I plan on recording with it and for what I paid for it will not worry about gigging with it like I would my more expensive guitars. I have used sound hold pickups with it and it works fine i.e Bill Lawrence and my Woody. I use it with a ART preamp DI box that has a tube amp output. Either sounds great with this guitar. I am going to order a double pickguard for 15 bucks for it and give it the GIBSON look.....not quite a Gibson but about 80% of the should for 1/3 the cost. believe the projection was better than an all wood guitar I used to have.
