Sound
:
10
The sound quality is as stated - superior tones, strong sound. I am using a Mesa boogie Rectifier and the sound is truely gold coming out of this guitar. So strong from Solky highs to crunchy lows. This guitar can do it all (and look great doing it.) I have no complaits here. You don't even need an amp (good for night time playing) it resonants so much I seem to really feel all the tone this can project. I played on PRS, Gibson and Several other top rated guitars - This matches with any of them and truly has it's own unique-ness about it. The only complaint (not really a complant) is that the guitars pickups are so powerful I definetly need the hush running on my boss gt5 pedal. Weight and neck are awesome this. The tones go from gretsch to a gibson SG - Really nice. This is a work of art. You can truly tell Fouke puts alot of heart into his work.
Action, Fit, & Finish
:
9
Feel and finish is great - a real eye catcher that warms right up to you with incredible sustain and rich sound. Neck is gold and with the widow headstock as soon as I get done admiring that I go back to the body. The action is perfect for a solid tone - I prefer an extremly low action and had to make a slight adjustment here. that't why I am rating a 9.5 but overall the setup was nice before I messed with it. With some quick adjustments I had it down a little more with no buzzing at all. After receiving all the complements on the looks The just keep coming once the person takes hold of the neck and checks the action - Again a work of art overall. In addition this is EXTREMELY solid - built like a tank - Hey it's Metal!!!!!! If I got got jumped after a gig I could sheild my attackers with this guitar and still rock out after.

This is a handmade guitar and built with all top of the line components. Buttons as well as headstock bridge all solid - no complaints - I love it. Engineered like a fine machine. This person took a good idea and made it better - true genius.

I can't foresee having a problem but he is very entusiastic about his work and can be reached telephone or email - which he has been exremely responsive with. I got the notion that he pretty much breathes his work day and night.
Overall Rating

This is a masterpiece. All my friends and even a local music store is very envious about this guitar. Sound quality and craftmanship is all top of the line - A perfect marriage with my Mesa Booogie! I hope this designer gets signed by Gibson> Or Opens a huge company of his own. Work of this nature should become world renound. A 10 here in my book. I can't say enough good things about this one. - I actually sold two guitars after receiving this one - Two gibsons - and I don't regret a thing. Even though I held on to two other guitars (one down tuned) I would keep this one as my only one. Highly reccomended. A 2000.00 handmade guitar at a 3rd of the cost. and there is no price that can be paid for it's unique flavor of sound. Thanks Chris!
