Given that "jazz box" guitars have a distinctive sound, this one gives out well. the slightly different top from most such guitars also allows it to give you something a bit brighter than you'd expect

Really well put together with quality woods and hardware

very easy to play, somethings high up the neck require re-working due to the finger board being a 22 fretter

Only grough was it arrived with only one pickup working due to a dry solder joint. Surely this should have been picked up at QC? however the finish is superb. the instrument needed some decent strings, a little heavier than the stock strings it arrived with, and a set-up. but then alll guitars benefit from those sort of things.

expensive, but cheaper than many quality guitars of it's type

No need to comment, the above mentioned wiring problem was quickly dealt with by my excellent local luthier.

A truly quality piece of work. I look after it and treat it well.

Everything!

This is where this guitar shines. This guitar is capable of a wide variety of sounds--cool jazz to rockabilly. One problem: feedback. Be careful. I'm getting some Doug's Plugs for the f-holes. Furthermore, mate this guitar with a tube amp.

Basic humbuckers and volume/tone. Grover tuners.

I think everything is fine.

It is expensive. I think it is worth it.

This is the coolest looking guitar I've ever owned. Very cool. Lot's of mojo.
