Reviews

Some issues need addressing

The geometry causes the action to be so high, even with the low and high string bridge saddles fully lowered there is just too much string height affecting intonation and playability. The spec states mahogany body construction but this is not the case. Some other wood type with much lighter grain and color has been used. Quite sloppy nut installation where a fair bit of adhesive residue has squeezed out onto the surrounding surfaces. The routed areas in the body for switches and pickups have been left unsanded straight off the machine and then painted. Fret ends are slightly sharp and could be better finished. Overall good guitar with great sustain but let down by the sub par build quality, and string height issue. Satin finish is nicely done.

Bang for the Buck !

Sounds great and looks awesome! The only critique I have with this guitar is that the saddles need more range or a shift in range in order to lower the action further, I didn’t mind it but I can definitely see that being an issue. Aside from that this a well designed and a great looking guitar at a good price, in my opinion.
