Sound
:

i like to play everything from classic rock to country some shred, and now even noodling around on some jazz. this guitar is very nice for the jazz stuf it is built for the allman bros sound or g&r stuff, it is a little weak for real heavey metal. the best sound is in the clean setting very nice to pick and strum chords on.
Action, Fit, & Finish

this guitar is beautiful the colour is such a deep red mahogany it looks awesome against the white binding, there were a few instances on the binding where the mahogany stain got onto the binding but they are very minor. the action was a little high and i had to adjust the intonation on several strings but that is natural for any guitar that is built assembly line style.the frets on my guitar were very nicley dressed a little fret buzz at first now after adjusting action and intonation it is fairly quiet.
Reliability/Durability

i have played for over 30 yrs but have never gigged professionaly, having said that i believe you could easily gig with this guitar, and be very proud of its looks and overall quality. no one plays a gig without a backup that is just stupid.

i own an ibanez rg 270, ibanez roadstar strat copy, olp wolfgang copy,ibanez jumbo accoustic,line 6 75 watt amp, peavey envoy 110, digitech rp 2000 effect box, overall this is exactly what i hoped for a great les paul sound without the overinflated les paul price, i have played many epi les pauls which were twice the price and they felt like complete junk, this guitar blows them away, i know its hard to believe but these guitars are the real deal.
