As someone who's owned and played a number of American professional guitars, this absolutely shocked me for the price. I wanted a semi hollow guitar, and loved the look of the Raspberry Iced Tea I the pics. So I thought I'd give it a try. I can hardly put this thing down. The tone is fantastic. It came set up very well. It's a big neck compared to my other guitars but it works for this one. The guitar looks even better in person. Sounds amazing. The tones immediately scream classic rock, country rock, and blues. Not sure I'd try it for metal... But definitely sounds great playing harder rock, and cleans up beautifully. Sustain is amazing as you'd expect. As someone who's owned American artists series guitars, I hate hearing people automatically put down less expensive guitars. There are hidden gems out there, and this is one. While it was set up great, I will tweak a bit to my taste. The neck is dry... May play in, or I'll treat with oil. And zZounds was great as usual. Fast shipping. Great service. Now I just need a case.
