Sounds fantastic! As good as any jazz guitar I've played or heard including higher end ones. (I own 41 guitars).
Very good jazz tones, especially on the rhythm PUP.
Both PUPs very well balanced and have screw height adjustments for each pole.

Set up was good for a brand new guitar. Cosmetically, the guitar was perfect. Strings OK.

It's a jazz guitar, so you sit and play in a itimate setting.
I don't use a strap. Very dependable and we all know - you

I've talked to the Jay Turser people before - so they are accessible.

These models are no longer made, so if you get one on a close-out price like I did - that's a great deal. There's nothing wrong with these guitars. Turser cranks out alot of models and produce a limited number - sometimes overproduce - hence the close-outs.
A great guitar if you can snatch a new one like I did for under $200!
They were selling for over $400 brand new.
