The Great & Not So Great
THE GREAT: What I love so much about this guitar is that its tone stands 100% apart from any other guitar I've ever owned, or currently own...and that's A LOT of guitars! It's also a VERY special guitar for playing Blues, because that signature tone sets it apart from so many other Blues players as well. All 3 pickup positions yield remarkable tonal results. In fact, I'm hearing new, incredible tones through my pedalboard and amps that I've never heard in over 30 years of playing.
The fit and finish on the one I ordered is flawless. The paint is deep and literally perfect. The neck is impeccable in its finish, feel, fret work, intonation etc. This guitar also has a satin finish treatment on the fretboard that looks beautiful and plays very well.
THE NOT SO GREAT: Hardware. While the vintage-style tuners work pretty well, and all the chrome work is decent quality, the bridge saddles are extremely sharp...so much so that resting your hand on the corner of the bridge for even a short amount of time will warrant a good bit of stabbing pain. I had to file mine down with a Dremel tool.
Worst of all though are the volume and tone knobs. They are made out of incredibly cheap plastic; and BOTH of my tone knobs fell right off within the very first hour of playing.
All in all, it's a fantastic guitar that I'm honestly thrilled with despite the small stuff. I find myself reaching for it more than my much higher end guitars, and would instantly replace it if something were to happen to it.
