Sound : 9
The guitar sounds great. However, i did switch its original pups to humbucker 59's. Now it really screams! The original pups were okay but not exactly "humbucker" quality. It has a rich and full sound. I also play it through many different amps and it sounds goodin all of them.

Action, Fit, & Finish : 5
This is where the guitar really falls downhill. At first when i bought it there were no problems whatsoever. But over the course of time i began to get a little fret buzz. Also the input-jack is messed up as well. The guitar only makes sound half the time.

Reliability/Durability : 8
Ive never giged with it. I always use my gibson les paul live. Im sure if i did therewould be no problems. Its pretty rock solid.

Customer Support : No Opinion
never dealt with them.

Overall Rating : 7
The guitar is great for beginers. It was my first guitar. Ive beenplayin for about three anda hakf years. I have nine guitars now. Out of all of them, i can honestly say that its not my favorite. But it's still a guitar i find myself playing sometimes. If it ever got lost or stolen i would probably look for something else.

This guitar literally does it all very well ! smooth sweet jazz , chord melody sound right up to really heavy metal type with a singing tone , Clapton should have a few of these babies! Edie Van too!
Using this with an older 160 watt Peavey tube combo and a
Peavey Studio Pro 110 , the guitar is quiet no hum or operating noise , easy to control feedback if so desired! the sound is FULL and CLEAR or if you like you can down and punch it out with the best of the heavy metal guys too! Dam ! this baby can and does, do it all!! this is better than sex!!
Likes and dislikes = I LOVE IT ALL !! where have you been all my life my little" Black Beauty!

Action, Fit, & Finish : 10

been playing 40 yrs, if I lost this guitar I'd go on anti depressants and an immediate search for it's replacement in kind!
I love everything about this guitar! REALLY!
The only thing I wish that it had , would be a Hot sister that cooks !
IF you see one , check it out, and then BUY IT!
