I give it a 9 because it's not a mahogany neck
Sound
:
10
Guitar sound with Stock Pups sound tight, tough, smooth, clear, heavy
Very quiet - not noisy at all
Sound is rich and the Pups have good range all around
This is the first guitar with neck/bridge pup are both usable and sound really good.
Action, Fit, & Finish

Setup - nearly perfect - I haven't touched it since I got it and it doesn't even have my gauge strings on it.
I lowered the neck Pup a bit to clean up it's sound and now it's perfect.
Removed the Treble/Rhythm washer and the Pickguard - it looks so much better. Flame is matched and looks great!
CSB looks Great!!
I haven't found a flaw yet! Guitar stays in Tune! Solid as a Rock
Reliability/Durability

I am planning on using it as my Drop "D" gigging guitar. I have an AL2000 and they are both capable of being used live. In fact that's why I got this - it is ready out of the box for playing live.
Solid hardware, solid feeling guitar.
Strap buttons will be replaced as soon I get to buying some locks
You can absolutely depend on this guitar
this is my only drop D guitar so yes, it's a guitar flying without a back-up, but seriously who plays live without at least two/four instruments

Overall Rating

10
Been playing since 1980
own: Ibanez Destroyer II, Ibanez RG320DXQM, Fender MIM SSH Strat, Oscar Schmidt OE30, Agile PS-970, Agile AL2000, Peavey Ultra, SX KY1 Custom 22.
I wish this guitar gave you another Graphite Nut - I'd replace the one on my Destroyer II,
I'm looking for another one - B stock to save money
Sound, playability, looks, all to be enjoyed.
22 Frets, LP neck Heel - things that all LP's have that I don;t like
I got this thing for $155.00 - well worth it!
I wish it had a mahogany neck
This guitar is really a solid performer. It was intonated out of the box, works great and I have no complaints. everything about this guitar feel solid.
