Sound

Well, let's review this as post set up. Sound is full and rich, not a cannon in volume tho. Pleasant would be a good adjetive to describe the tone. |

Setup
|
What set up? 2 of the spider legs were around 1/8" to high, 3 others were off a bit. Action was very high (factory set up for for slide)....so, set the spider, changed the stings, brought the action down. Can now play my weekly 4 hour set without too much effort |

Appearance
|
Has some nice flame under that matt finish. Will buff out to a nicer sheen. Inlay dots look more like plastic than pearl. But it is a pretty guitar all in all |

Over all, for the money, it was exactly what I was looking for. A workhorse. I gig out at least 4-6 hours a week, sometime up to 12, often in tight spaces. Can get a little rough out there and this thing is built like a Russsian T-72. |
