I find the features on this guitar to be just the ones that you need when you are playing, many guitars such as the Gibson Less Paul have many knobs that, when you are playing you get lost. This guitar only has the volume one and by turning it a little bit you can hear different sound.
The wood and the finishing really inspires you to play.
The body rules! And the Tone hole option is going to make a fashion.
The only thing that I Dislike of this guitar is the lack of a tremolo or a Floyd Rose, unfortunately I learned to play on Tremolo guitars (Yamaha by the way) and I got used to them, so when I play my Z1 a have to create new sounds.
The spretzel locking tuners are a very good option for guitars, If your guitar has them, It will never be out of tune.
It included a hard case case perfectly shaped for the guitar, so it can be 100% protected.

My Z1 suited all kind of music that I play, from Blues to hard Rock and Mexican Rock (El Tri), It has the capability to mach many kind of different sounds.
The way that I like most my Z1 is with a very light chorus, Equializer and Reverb, It sounds Very bright and clear.
I like it as a whole.

I can only express it on one word: "Perfect"
Reliability/Durability

It is like a rock. Alex (the creator and maker) also glues or screws the neck joint, I rather to have it screwed even though the screws may alter the sound.
The strap buttons are really strong, but as a jewel I wouldnt recomend it for dancing or jigging.
You can depend on it unless you are a guitar killer just like metallica or any other who thinks that its impressing to see how a guitar is broken into pieces.

Alex is very helpful and a very nice guy, he always has written me back every time I had doubts. The manual is also very clear and easely to understand.
The warranty is "if you dont like it, you get your money back"
Overall Rating

I have been playing it for one year and I just simply love it. In fact I am planning to buy a Z2 one.
If someone steals my Z1 I would moan and cry and yes, I would definetely buy another one.
I love the shape, the holes, the pickups. The only thing that I dislike is that the strings are a little bit far from the neck and sometimes you can play it very fast :( I wish alex can close the gap between the frets and the strings.
I compared it to a Fender Telecaster, Ibanez Jem and Gibson Less Paul (a lot of styles... hehe) I bought it because there is no other guitar in the world just like this, is fully original.
I wish It had a floyd Rose
