Most amazing guitar in the whole world! - No kidding! This is an absolute beast! On some pickup positions it has a L.P type sound on others almost tele type sound, so so versatile! I absolutely love it! No buzzing whatsoever, just a perfect sound!
Action, Fit, & Finish
:
No Opinion
Bought second hand, so cannot really comment on factory set up - action was excellent though, no adjustment needed. - There were a few knocks on the body, quite a few in fact (the reason it was so cheap!) but and the finish has worn quite a bit, but i'll probably have it refinished by Patrick Eggle in a light blue quilt - (See Milan Bass on Patrick Eggle Website) - It's currently cherry and very nice, but I'll probably still have it re-done
Reliability/Durability

Have not yet gigged with it but will confidently use it without a backup when I do. Hardware seems perfect for an almost 10 year old guitar. Finish as i said will probably need re-doing.

Overall Rating

Been playing 6 years. Own an Epi Viola Bass (really nice!) and an Epi Casino + MESA combo and various bits and bobs. If it were lost or stolen I would be seriously peed off! And then I would take the insurance money and buy a brand new one!!!
This is by far the best guitar i have ever played, better than any Gibson (1962 SG + 1972 LP a friend owns) and by far better than any strat i've ever had the misfortune of playing!
I love it and i will hopefully always have it!
