great guitar - fantastic service!!
I have a 5120 Electromatic which I really like but was blown away by the pro jet.! Way heavier than I thought. great sound and fine craftsmanship. I may upgrade the pickups to Duo jet specs, but its fine as it is for now.
I must say i was impressed by Sweetwater's customer service. They sent me updates on my order status and when it was shipped, sent me pictures of my actual guitar. it arrived in fine form (packaged within multiple layers of boxes. Hey, it was in tune right out of the box. How good is that!! Needless to say, their service has won over a new customer! Thanks, guys. Time to record a version of "Ghost Riders in the Sky"!!
Good playable guitar
I bought this guitar (in sunburst) from Sweetwater about a year ago, and have used it consistently since then. The guitar came to me with an excellent setup; in fact, it's one of the easiest-playing guitars I own. It's lighter than my Les Paul Studio and the Filter-Tron pickups have a unique sound; a fuller sound than single-coil pickups but not as lush as the humbuckers on the Les Paul. The neck of the guitar is very playable with a radius that's smaller than the Les Paul but larger than my Strat or Tele. With some adjustments to my foot pedals, I can mimic the tones produced by a Strat or Tele or the Les Paul. I have actually used it more often during performances in the last year than the Les Paul. The only reason I didn't give the guitar five stars is the volume and tone controls. They came loosely screwed onto the guitar, but a screwdriver fixed that problem. The tone knob actually doesn't produce many changes in tone, but as I use an equalizer and compressor pedals that stay on continuously and that I can tweak depending on which guitar I'm using, the knob isn't all that important to me. It seems that the price of this guitar is actually going down, as I recall paying more for it, so it's a bargain. This guitar wasn't made in the USA (most aren't anymore) but its location of origin is unimportant to me. If you want a smooth-playing instrument that is well-made and doesn't cost a small fortune, you should give this guitar a try.
