"An enigma"

Sounds and plays fantastic ..truss rod action and nut are perfect..slightly top heavy ..and overall build seems less than actual value ..but if you can move past thatThe more you play this guitar the more you love it
Sound
The sound quality is epic..the mini humbuckers are truly unique..think noiseless p90
Features
The pickups ,neck profile and ease of play are the winners here..
Ease of Use
With minimal effort on your amp or recording program you can make all three pickup selections shine..the neck is fantastic if your ma fender guy like me there is a learning curve but the more you play it the more you love it..the guitar itself is top heavy .but once you adjust it's more than fine..
Quality
This is the place the guitar loses steam..The tuners are just "ok"..its a very thin guitar..in turn makes it light..but by contrast when holding the guitar you never really get the feeling your playing something worth $1200..the gig bag is nice but a hard case would make the staggering price much more worth it..while the guitar plays and sounds like a work of art you never really feel like your holding an instrument that reflects the amount of money spent on it..the satin finish is great on the neck looks wise the body could have used some clear coat to truly Let It Shine..that being said the guitar plays fantastically ..
Value
This is the enigma..the guitar certainly plays and sounds like it's worth the money aesthetically speaking..I cant fathome how this guitar is $1200 while other company fender included give you more band for buck on overall build quality..
Manufacturer Support
No need came set up perfectly truss rod set to speck action set to speck..slight buzzing on lower strings but could be because of new strings
The Wow Factor
If it wasnt for the tone and playability of this guitar I would call it white bread but I am certainly wowed by its tone playability..I would certainly recommend this guitar if you love sound and play...
