This guitar really is a thing of beauty. Not just in looks but in playability and tone as well. The action is consistantly low on every fret which suits my style perfectly. I use this for home recording and play through a Digitech RP12 and Boss GT10. It is capable of producing some lovely warm tones for jazz and blues although 2 step bends can be awkward as the string tension won't allow this. The string spacing is less then a lot of other guitars i've played over the years but again if you like playing fast runs then this is all for the good. To get the main benefit from this guitar you will need to play it plugged in as acoustically it does sound a little bit tinny however once plugged in and the pick ups take over the tone is instantly transformed. It holds its tuning very well and the craftsmanship and gold hardware make this a real treat for the eyes as well as the ears.
