Grover tuners, 1 3/4" nut width. I bought this guitar for the wide neck, I feel it might be a weee under 1 3/4", but wider than my Gibson SG Special.
Nice solid body guitar, soap-bar style pickups, looks much like an old Gibson Melody Maker.
My only complaint is, the actual nut (although graphite i believe, not positive) is not sanded smooth facing the first fret... Any time I slide up to an F note, I hurt the side of my index- sharp.
Sound
:
7
Sounds clean and jangly. Great for surf rock and blues. I don't play either.
I was hoping it would suite me well for a classical/flamenco style, but perhaps nylon is the only means to deliver such styles for a reason.
I have been using this for my rock band, I use a B-52 100 watt AT100, basically the poor man's triple rectifier. This guitar is ballsy and bright, not so much crunchy as my SG. Pretty cleans, although I need it set-up as the intonation is somewhat off, a low F sometimes doesn't sound like a low F.
I am sure this will shine with some custom pick-ups. I really can't give it more than a 7 with the standard pick-ups, I can tell it would really benefit from a new set of pickups.
Action, Fit, & Finish

Factory set-up like I mentioned was so-so. I do like the action though.
Everything else is right on.

Seems and feels pretty solid. Nothing loose thus far. I bet this could take a few falls.

I like this guitar. I may go out and buy the Agile Ghost III, that has rave reviews and I'd like to compare them. I think this model is actually discontinued, I consider myself VERY lucky to have gotten my long fingers on this one...
