I prefer to rate what I use according to what it cost me. For what this guitar cost, you can't beat the sound. If your torn between the crunch of a Gibson or the clean of a Fender, this might be the one for you. While it doesn't emmulate either, it has the the best of both.

Straight forward guitar. It's made for playing.

I couldn't find a blemish anywhere. I bought the tiger eye, which wasn't as deep as the picture looked, but I like it anyhow. My son bought a Gibson Studio and it came with a big crack in the finish by the bridge. He paid 2 1/2 times more.

Best deal going for a set neck, great finish, good sounding guitar.

Never needed

This is a unique guitar because it doesn't have that typical rocker shape of a Jackson or Ibanez, the telltale shape of a Les Paul, or the repetition of a Fender. It could be at home thrashing, at worship, playing the blues or twanging away. The design hasn't limited itself to one genre.

Anything that sounds good to me.
