Overall, an excellent guitar regardless of price. Great tone, good volume, beautiful cosmetics(beyond price point). This is a keeper!

Sound

The sound is bright, balanced and resonant with nice sustain. It was a little tight when purchased and is opening up nicely after about three months. Slight compression when digging in. This should remedy with time.

Features

Drop dead gorgeous guitar!! Abalone inlays are stunning as well as bubinga back and sides. Though not in the guitar's description, the WD-40s has scallaped bracing on the solid spruce top. The sides and back are laminated and nicely done. Straight neck and great action out of the box. Laminated mahogany neck. The tuners are Grover 18:1(the finest I have ever used)

Ease of Use

This guitar plays like butter. Very easy chording and the neck is comforatable.

Quality

The finish and fit are excellent but not top notch. Very minor glue stain in soundhole and minor oops in one inlay on the headstock. Not visable unless close inspection. Tightly glued and great gloss finish all around. I would not hesitate to use this axe as a main gigging guitar. Very sturdy.

Value

I feel I stole this guitar!! Should have been sold at full list price for the quality and sound. Purchased on closeout (due to the WD-40 in the model number-manufacturer thought there might be a possible confusion with WD-40 lubricant)
