This is an excellent guitar. Have had it for over a year now and been one of my favorite guitars to play. Taking live always catches everyones eye and the sound pulls them in. Very inspiring guitar. Straight out of the box, the guitar was playable but not perfect. Action a little higher than I prefer and rosewood fretboard felt a little dry. A proper professional set up easily fixes both of those issues though. You can get quite a few tones with the pickups in this guitar. I love the Vintage Noiseless pickups it comes with. The neck pickup can get very warm, especially since this is a semi-hollow. Bridge pickup with high tone you can get a nice Telecaster Twang if that's what you're looking for. The option to run both pickups in either Series or Parallel gives you more tone options as well making it easy to find a specific sound you're after. It's great to have Locking Tuners already installed on a guitar when you first buy it. Nice touch Fender. Visually this guitar is stunning. I don't typically love sunburst guitars, but this one with the thinline style pearloid pickguard and the f-hole really make it stand out. This guitar is pretty light as well, the headstock side will drop down as it's heavier than the body. This can be a little uncomfortable at first to play while standing but I got used to it. Overall I love this guitar. It always gets compliments on it's visuals and sound.
