Sound : 10
I play mostly New Country music. Todays country music is a mixture of blues, rock and country twang. This guitar handles most styles with ease. I use a Deluxe Reverb RI with Weber Alnico speaker and A Carr Rambler 1X12. My pedalboard has a X2 Wireless, Analogman Chorus, Xotic RC Booster, Robert Keeley BD2, Xotic BB Preamp, Ernie Ball Volume Pedal Jr.and a Pedal Power 2.
Tone on this guitar is fantastic. Has all the classic strat sounds. This is a very versatile guitar. The neck pickup is rich and full and the bridge pickup is big and open,

Action, Fit, & Finish : 10
The guitar comes with a "Plek Job" The frets are finished using a computer to get the level possible. Only a few companies have these at present time. I like an esay playing guitar. This is the easiest I have ever played. All the Suhrs are like that. My first Suhr was a Classic T. I fekt comfortable enough to by this guitar online without playing it first. This guitar came perfect. This is a hand built guitar. I have not found a flaw antwhere. If I could rate it an 11, I would. Play one of these for a while and you cam really get spoiled. Then go to your local music store and pick up a Fender or G&L. You will fell the difference immediately.

Reliability/Durability : 10
In the summer, I play out an average of 3-5 times a week. Some weeks we will play 8 times in 7 days. All outside, in hot humid conditions. This guitar is very well built. I would play without a backup. Everything is very solid and well done. I did change the strap buttons to Dunlop Locking since I have them on all my guitars. Finish seems very thin, but is exactly the way I want it.

Customer Support : 10
So far they have been great. You can tell the people are very proud of their products and are willing to stand behind them.

Overall Rating : 10
I have been playing guitar for over 40 years. I have played most genres. Besides the gear I have already listed, I have a Suhr Classic T, a 52 Tele RI, A Gibson Paul Jackson Jr. a Takemine NP18 and a couple of old beater acoustics. The PA equipment is too much to list. I have owned a lot of guitars, too many to list. I am not a big Strat player. I like Tele's better. I bought this guitar to round out my collection. Given the choice of a Tele or Strat, I will usually take the Tele. Not so true with this guitar. THis is a nice guitar. All my guitars are insured. I would but the exact same guitars as I have now. What I love about this guitar ... the neck. It's my favorite neck of all my guitars. I rated tis guitar a 10. I realize the value of anything is subjective.
