I wanted a thinline, hollow body, and this fits perfectly. I'm using it with a Fender Cyeber Twin, and it really rocks. It is a great blues, rock guitar with a rich sound. The bridge pu is a little muddy, but that can be corrected with my amp and the tone selector. I changed the heavy strings, 11's, to a set of 9's and it really improved playability.
Action, Fit, & Finish

The only change I've had to make was strings, and then I reset the tuned-o-matic and raised the pickups.
Fit and finsih is excellent. The neck and frets are smooth as silk. This is a great guitar.
Reliability/Durability

The finish is solid and heavy without damping the tone. I'd gig with it without a back up in a heartbeat.

This guitar is more comfortable than my US Strat, better fit and finsih too. Samick makes the guitar and it is a fabulous bargain. I find myself playing it over the Strat, and I've basically parked my US Lead III. I'd have to replace it if lost stolen or driven over.
