i can get a really great sound out of this guitar. it is really easy to play, and the lace sensor p/ups give the overall sound so much definition for blues, blues/rock and jazz. the tones of Stevie Ray Vaughan, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Buddy Guy, Eric Clapton, Robert Cray etc, can be easily achieved. You can obtain a rich/full sound on the neck and neck/middle pickup without a problem. and a bright and very clear tone on the Middle,Middle/bridge,bridge pickups. Much of what i play revolves around this style, but another large chunk of my music taste is 80s rock (hair rock)and Andy Timmons/Joe Satriani/Steve Vai kind of stuff. This guitar isnt that ideal for this style of music in my opinion, as the pickups are based more around a 50s - 60s sound.
this guitar is my number 1 choice for blues! it's awesome!!

Action, Fit, & Finish : 8
I did get the guitar serviced just as i would with all of them, but before it was attended to, it was set so the action was a little higher than what i was used to, but there was no problem fixing that. The only problem with this guitar, and i still havent fixed it, is that the volume pot is dusty or dirty. because as i fade in using that nob, it cuts out for half a second at the very end of the fade in. that annoys me a little. however i still love the guitar

Reliability/Durability : 10
Everything is in great shape and stays in great shape during a performace. i have only had this guitar for 8 months, so i cant make a long term comment. so far everything is going good.

I think it's a 2002 model. 22Frets, Light S.ash body eith maple top, Duncan Designed Pickup and Wilkenson Trem. it has a Vol. and tone control with a push-pull on the tone knob for humbacker splitting. it's SSH configuration. I think the neck is mapel with rosewood fretboard, and it's bolt-on.

Sound : 9
I played Jazzy-Blues to Hard rock, and it did the job perfectly. It has quite a veriety of tones abd attiude... from Take Five to Voooo Child... :) I used it through a many differant amps, tubes and SS and they all matched well. the pickup aren't nousier than you avrege singles. It sound's Strat like, but definantly has it's own voice - brighter, lighter, and tighter, but without sacrificing the bottom end and "warmness". Sustine is impressive as well as note definition.

Action, Fit, & Finish : 9
I think I was the original setup, and it wass satisfying. the wor on it, built-wise and finish-wise was very good. I have'nt a complaint to make. I is VERY comfortable to play and it feels great to hold and noodle on, it isn't too heavey, and is well balanced.

Reliability/Durability : 9
I've palyed it in a store (many many many many time), so I don't know how it will be like in the long run but I think It could withstand the brutal life of the road, it seems durable as any strat.

Customer Support : No Opinion
Never Used it

Overall Rating : 10
Well, for the it's price - I haven't seen anything like it. 2200 NIS (about $450-$500) it's cheap, and way better than the compatition in it's price range, and probobly even above it!
