"Nice guitar for the price - plenty of features"
Verified Purchaser

Good value and plenty of features.
Sound
RMC bridge output has a very good piezo/acoustic sound (run to Marshall ASD100 acoustic amp). Guitar synth tracking as good or better than Fender Roland Ready model. Magnetic humbucker pickups rather undistinguished but adequate. Deduct a couple of points for the humbuckers (but not bad for the price). Stereo output. The body is resonates nicely unplugged.
Features
Truly a three-voice guitar. I have had all three (humbuckers, acoustic, synth) outputs going at once, and it can sound very good and thick, especially with a good GR-33 patch, such as strings, dialed in as a background sound. Has pretty much the same features as most Roland-ready guitars (s1, S2 switch, magnetic/mix/synth output), plus the piezo output. Nice padded gig bag included. Standard non-locking tuners.
Quality
Factory setup was good, finish very nice, good quality control. Pleasant surprise. Humbuckers only fair, but the i8.13 has Seymour Duncans, I believe, if you want to spend a good bit more. Cheap looking bridge saddles worry me a bit, but seem to work fine.
Value
You'll pay about $150 more for this than for Fender's Roland Ready strat. I have owned both and, in my option, the i81.13 is worth the extra cost due to the acoustic output and overall quality.
Manufacturer Support
Not used, but web site has good customer support (manuals, etc.)
