Love this guitar !!First let me say, dealing zZounds was fantastic ! I've been doing business with zZounds for many years and they've always been great !! This guitar came when promissed, just a few days, Perfect !!As far as import guitars are concerned, the fit, finish and out of box set-up is 2nd to none.I'm a home player for many years. I have too many guitars. For the money this guitar is awesome and my new stand by guitar, by that I mean the one I'll keep on a stand ready to play. I was concerened about the pick ups being too metal, which I don't mind, but they are far more versital than I expected. I have heard many good things about this guitar and I've been a fan of Rabea going back before Chapman guitars, the man rocks !!
