I like playing blues, and this is definitely the guitar for me. I described to Fatdog what kind of sound I was looking for and he was right in the money. This guitar has awsome tone, from full and ritch to clean and crisp.
Action, Fit, & Finish
:

Out of the box it needed tuning and a little polishing thats it! It plays awsome, action is nice and low intonation was right on. Finish is another story, here is where Fatdog is not as concerned. He builds a quality instrument out of new/old stock. this guitar has a few very minor finish flaws but it was exactly as he described it. I think in this catagory it still rates high even with the flaws, it still plays awsome!

Subway says try it for a week and if you don't like it send it back for something else or a refund.They were extremely helpful and Fatdog said he would be glad to help me with any modification I might make in the future.
Overall Rating

I have been playing for about 10 years and I am very happy with this guitar. I got a custom built strat for $200 (and a trade in) that sounds and plays better than any high dollar strat I've ever played. Granted it has some finish flaws, but you really have to get up close to notice. So if you want a custom, one of a kind instrument that is very affordable than give Fatdog a call or check out his site www.fatdawg.com.
