Features : 9
Mahagony or Alder body (mine has Alder), hard Maple bolt-on neck, 22 Jumbo frets, LP style body. 2 humbuckers, 3 way switch, 2 volume and 2 tone knobs. Tune-o-matic bridge, Kluson tuners.

Sound : 9
I play heavy metal, and this little thing can handle it pretty well. I use only a Line6 Spider II 112 with it. It has a very good, aggressive, crunchy sound. I prefer the neck pickup for distortion, especially for solos and the bridge for clean. I can get a nice Metallica-like tone with the bridge pu. The only disadvantage is that the pickups are noise. And you can make a "killswitch effect" which is cool.

Action, Fit, & Finish : 9
I bought it used so it was already set up well. The strings were set as low as possible. I couldn't find any flaws or rust. Only problem is one of the volume pots. Mine was a bit loose and noise if it's not turned completely.

Reliability/Durability : 9
Built like a stone. I would definitely depend on it on a gig. (To be honest, I use it as a backup and a "alternative tuning guitar", because I have a Cort X-11 with Floyd Rose). I had some problems with the strap buttons, they are loose, and it caused me drop the guitar a few times. Apart from some scratches, it survived. It also stays in tune well.

Customer Support : No Opinion
Never dealt with them.

Overall Rating : No Opinion
I play the guitar for more than 2 years now. I have 2 eletric guitars which I mentioned earlier and classical guitar, too. I own a Line6 Spider II, but also tried some others (Vox, Powerstate etc).

This is a very good guitar for the price, with only some minor problems. Compared to my Cort, the neck is more comfortable in lower positions (1-15. fret), much easier to tune/change string, has a more aggressive tone. The Cort has a tremolo, have coil tap (umm, this can be made for the J&D too, but you have to disassemble the pickups, which I didn't want to do). And it has more frets.

If it was stolen, I'd try to get another one. I can only recommend it.
