I play Mostly Jazz and blues so these nothing special pickups sound just peachie to me. The Fact is they actualy sound pretty good as long as you dont need a real narley bridge pickup. I use it with Boss effects and Crate amps. This is not my only guitar so it sits with 19 others that goes from Les Pauls to High end Fenders.
Overall this OLP plays nice, its not noisy, I have no fret buzz, and everything works fine. I bought it because of the want for a 24 fret guitar when called for in my collection.

Action, Fit, & Finish : No Opinion
This guitar came set up just perfect right off the showroom wall.
it has a fast action neck everything seems to work fine. The neck pickup seems to lean a little foward and the controls do not have that high end feel but all works just fine together. The tuners so far seem exceptional. I dont use the wammy so no comment there.

Reliability/Durability : 7
I have played this guitar pretty hard as my jazz is fast and furious.
It seems to take a licking and it keeps on ticking.
I believe it will stand up to occational live playing type use.
The weak point being the vol/tone pots, if replaced then I would fell better about long term reliability. the rest seems solid.

Customer Support : 5
Never needed yet.
They have a website and I registered but no mention of warranty length.
OLP is owned by the same company that produces BC Rich guitars and Michael Kelly mandolins

Overall Rating : 10
I have been playing since 1958. This was purchased at a special Memorial day sale for $50 although List is $355 and normal sale price would be $249. If they had any left I would have bought more at that price. It was a steal for shure as well as a collectors item of Orange County Choppers.

This guitar was made in 2002, not sure where it was made. This guitat has 22 frets and a basswood body that offers 3 way switching across 2 uncovered humbuckers. A volume and tone knob round out the tone shaping offered from the guitar itself.

The pickup configutation in H/H.

As I stated before, the body is basswod and the neck is North American Maple with a Rosewood fretboard.

The top is bright red with an Orange County Choppers logo on the top of the guitar and a flames pattern that machs one of the custom choppers that came from Orange County Chopper shop.

The guitar has a strat style body with a standard vintage tremelo, standard non-locking tuners with no accessories.

A perfectly average guitar.

Sound : 5
This sounds like a guitar. I originally purchased it for my 9 year old son to learn to play, although I keep it with my collection.

This guitar gets played through a Roland Microcube. It sounds like a garden variety guitar... solid tone and intonation.

A perfectly average guitar.

Action, Fit, & Finish : 7
Set up from the factory was decent. The pickups are well adjusted, no noise in the pots.

Very cool finish and decal work.

Good custom look finish... on an average guitar.

Reliability/Durability : 5
Surpriseingly, when I first got this guitar, I played it for HOURS. I played it pretty hard and let my 9 year old play it. It stayed in tune.

It's a solidly made average guitar.

Customer Support : No Opinion

Overall Rating : 5
I have been playing/gigging for 6 years. I own a mixture of guitars from Godins to Ibanez SA series to guitars made just for me by various luthiers across the country.

I've seen this guitar advertised from $150 - $250. At $50, I considered it to be an interesting investment... if nothing else, a conversation piece.
