"Best deal."
This reviewer purchased this item from Same Day Music.
Sound:
The guitar has a lot of punch and the pickups are very reactive. As of now I've pretty much only played it with some tube overdrive and chorus, but I expect that it will hold up very will to any effect I throw at it.
Feature:
The Grover tuners are a nice touch, the body size is perfect, and the neck is well finished and very playable. The coil-taps may come in handy some day, though right now I don't find them to be all that useful. I would love this guitar even without the coil-tap feature.
Ease of Use:
Very playable instrument, though not really a beginner's instrument. It's not fragile, though I hesitate to hand over any semi-hollow or hollow body guitar to a beginner.
Quality:
Made in China, really well made, hopefully will last me... well, until I can pass it down to kids of my own. I'm only 25, so that's a ways down the road.
Manufacturer Support:
Not sure, haven't had to deal with them yet.
Value:
Worth the price, especially if "blemished" just means that someone else didn't like it and returned it. If you can get it for $300, do it, if you have to pay the extra $100, do it. It's a great value either way.
The Wow Factor:
It's beautiful and sounds amazing. The pictures of the "Cherry" color do not do it any justice. This guitar is not cheesy looking at all, just classic and amazing.
Overall:
This guitar was a "blemished" product, though I can honestly say that I haven't found one cosmetic issue with the guitar yet. After polishing it up, the guitar looks and sounds flawless. I also work for a music company, but these were crazy back ordered, so I went through SDM and payed the "at cost" pricing for a "blemished" product without any blemish whatsoever. This was a great deal and I am so glad to have chosen Same Day Music.
