Sound is wonderfully focused unlike other maples I've owned. Might be due to JD's plexi soundwell baffling ? Nice mids as well. Treble is bright but smooth. Tons of low end also, maybe due to the extra body depth.
Sound Rating: 10
Setup was perfect. No buzzing, rattling etc. Intonation is spot on as well.

The Fishook Maple compares at the top in my book. Very happy with the guitar and look forward to playing it every chance I get. If you get the chance, please do yourself a favor and check out JD's work ! It is top shelf indeed !
