Sound

This thing sounds great.
I'm going through a Kustom Quad 100 at the moment.
Honestly, this axe holds up very,very well with some nice warm overdrive. I tried it with some Peter Frampton stuff, and some classic Black Sabbath. It smokes! I also played it clean, doing some Jazz runs and improvised blues. Wonderful clean sound as well!
Good sustain, rich, warm and lively.
Action, Fit, & Finish

I couldn't believe it, but it was set up near perfect out of the box.
I am quite picky about my set-ups, but The only thing I needed to do was adjust the G and D string intonation slightly. Other than that it's fine!
Nice finish, the tone controls aren't very versatile, they seem to be either "on" or "off" no matter how high you turn them. But that's o.k. I leave the tone all the way up on all my guitars anyhow, always have.....
The pickup switch was a little noisy, then it shorted out on the neck pickup.
I simply cleaned it with some tuner spray, five minutes later PERFECT! (I've been down that road with expensive guitars before, no big deal)
Neck could use a little oil, so what, my epiphone could too!
Pickups are fine.....
The action is low but not too low.....satisfied.
Reliability/Durability

No doubt this guitar will hold up live, it's solid and nice and heavy....I love 'em heavy!
The Grover tuners are fair, but I have been dissappointed by Grovers many times in the past, I think they are overrated.
The finish and hardware will last in my opinion, then again I take very good care of my guitars.
The graphite nut is nice, this guitar holds tune as good as any I've played, even after intense string bends, (and I really bend!)
Strap buttons are solid.....this guitar is more than dependable indeed, but you should always have a backup no matter what our playing!

Overall Rating

I have been playing for almost 30 years, semi-professionally with songs of mine on the radio.
I would replace it if it was lost with the same, I like the neck feeling and the tone I'm getting from the instrument. I also like the sturdy tuning system.
I have owned LesPauls, Stratocasters and epiphones.....this is plays and sounds just as good.
I highly endorse this product, especially in these recession times.
