I compared the Iaxe to a Fender American Strat. I have been playing for over 40 years and I was amazed! Computer hook-up or not, it was hard to tell the difference between the guitars. This was through a Cybertwin. The 5-way switch is a bit noisy but the pickups have a lot of punch. The USB hookup was easy and worked without a hitch. Even at list price of $150 ($99 most online sites) this thing is outstanding. I own over 30 other guitars and was amazed at the value!
Action, Fit, & Finish

All I can say is Great! Aside from tweaking the string height, it was OK right out of the box. Fit and finish is fine. Frets are smooth and the tuners seem tight. No problem anywhere. It is lighter than my Strat.
