Sound
Okay, I wanted to write a review on this guitar because there are none online! I want to be able to help someone out! So, to start off, this guitar is smaller than it looks... But don't get me wrong, I LOVE IT!!! It's extremely light, the short 24" scale neck is amazing!!!! I use .9 gauge strings, and it feels like there's no tension! it's so easy to play! To my surprise, the pickup is very versatile. I was able to play my jazz, rock, ambience, latin, and anything in between.
Features
I cannot complain at all about this guitar. OH, by the way, the case, er, gig bag I should say, is amazing!!!!!!!!!
