This axe has become a permanent player in my stable and I would definitely replace if lost or stolen. Although I am a Les Paul man all the way, this should be an item any serious player should consider.

Sound
The mid-range sound quality is in line with the mid-range pricing. Both pups are kinda muddy; however, the harmonics are pretty decent. The pups have a good bluesy tone and are good for southern rock; however, if you want more british or modern metal sounding tones a pup upgrade is needed.

Features
I love the simplicity of this axe. One volume knob and the pickup selector is all I need. The tremolo on this guitar is one of the best I have used and staying in tune while diving low is no worry. The only feature I would add to this product would be to have a 24 fret neck as opposed to the shortened 22 frets, but this is not a necessity to thrash on this thing. The biggest thing I would change is the Duncan designed pups as I am planning to throw in some passive EMGs pretty soon to give it some added umph.

Ease of Use
Even with the stock pups, you can still shred and get some decent harmonics out of this axe. The lack of tone knobs doesn't cause me to shed any tears as I normally turn mine all the way up and leave them there, adjusting the tone from the amp interface.

Quality
This is an incredible piece of work. The polka dot finish on this thing screams… read more look at me and although the body design differs from the original rhodes classic v, its shape adds a modern look to a classic. Other than a loose volume knob that fell off in the box upon delivery, this is an excellent guitar in this price range.

Value
Although this is one of my favorite guitars, I do feel that this guitar is a bit pricey and should fall in the $300-400 price range; however, I feel that I am getting the best for what I have spent.

Manufacturer Support
I only rate the support a 10 because the product was good enough that I haven't had to contact support.

The Wow Factor
It is a definite attention getter and one of the best since the Les Paul Bullseye and Buzzsaw were released. This axe screams for attention.
