My style is heavily distorted southern blues,not into playing fast just heavy with alot of groove.Fender amps,digitech processors,a number of distortions.My setup is noisy but i use the noise gate so I'm fine.Definitely a rich vintage tone,the pickups will have to be changed for my style.Not alot of variety tonal wise but a quick switch in pickups will change that.I like everything about it except for the pickups.

From the factory it was set up way to high so I adjusted the bridge and was set.I adjusted the pickups.The bridge is durable and was routed properly.It is a solid instrument for sure.Everything is fit like it is suppose to be.Nice finish,neck,everything.Very comfortable guitar.

With the pickup change I'll be more than happy to walk onstage with this.Decient hardware,should hold up.Good finish,The strap buttons are solid but get locks if you play live.Dependable guitar.I don't use anything without backup.

Overall Rating
:
No Opinion
Last 3 years solidly before that on and off about 15 years of experience.I would buy again because i plan on purchasing more of they're products.I really like the comfortability of this guitar,the neck is very smooth.I've been through alot of guitars like Jackson,Dean,Ibanez and some others.I wish it had better pickups but for the price and ease of playing you can't beat it.
