Very easy to play compared to my old Alverez. Action is comparable to an electric guitar
Reliability/Durability
:

Seems to be reliable so far. The only problem was that the internal plug to the eq receptacle unit was not completely plugged in. I had to unscrew the receptacle bass & remove it to reach the plug. This was easier than removing the strings & only took a few minutes. The plastic slide in EQ unit is probably the only weak spot, but if you are carefull, it should be OK. I was in an exited state when I got the guitar & I tried to push the EQ unit into the receptacle unit before checking to see that the factory left the battery inside without being plugged in, which could have caused breaking the unit.
