This thing needs its F Holes back, an ebony fingerboard wood be nice, the veritone still “stinks”, and the work is getting better but the neck feel just isn't the same, the real deal has a thinner neck. Mind you the price is really what everyone thinks about, but we are missing some work that can't be done afterwards here. The action could be honed by a local wizard to be more perfect for "average Joe" guitar player and his favorite strings, but I doubt anyone wants to re-carve the neck. The makers have to spend a little more time and effort on the WOOD before they will get the best results. The real shame is it is probably 90% there, certainly would be a great blessing to all if it were really done instead of "ALMOST THERE."

First, the fit and finish was better than I have grown to expect at this price point. Nice binding, near flawless Ebony finish. (One time over with a swirl and haze remover resulted in a near Custom Shop finish) In lay work is nice and tight fitting, but they use plastic in the neck $$$. Grover tuners prove up to the task and the tail fine tuner is awesome! I want one on all my hard tails now. Not too heavy, can hang her for a set with out problems. The guitar has very good action with frets about the same size as my Am. Dlx. Strat. (med. Jumbo)neck shape is comfortable , but this axe was made for lead picking. Chording on the upper register is near impossible for me. I have decent size hands. Most certainly is a "slim taper" style neck. Fast, good action, but tight at the top for chords. The electronics; pots work well with a nice linear curve and just the right tension. The varitone is a delight allowing a pallet of tones from driving and full, to scooped like to Tele-ish sparkle. I like this option. The PUP's are OK, almost. Nice sounding and articulate at lower volume's but increasingly muddy as you turn her up. If you are playing Jazz/Pop your OK here. I changed mine out to a USA Gibson 57 Classic in the neck and a 57 Plus at the bridge. This change has made this my go to ax!! Just WOW. Other players have commented on many occasions on the tone I get from this guitar using a tube screamer, wah, delay and a Fender Blues Deluxe with a Weber speaker. GREAT GREAT tone, I recommend this upgrade. It makes a good sounding guitar (with standard Epi DOT PUP's) an amazing toned guitar!!! I would get another if this one was lost. If the PUP's were a bit nicer, this would be a solid 5...I give her a 4-1/2, strong ax at this price point.
