zZounds Gear Experts Say...
2 humbuckers. Medium frets.

The Mahogany solid bodies of the past were heavy, awkward, and uncomfortable. The modern S is only big where it counts. For rich tone and long sustain, the S is full-bodied at the neck, pickups, and bridge, but around the edges, the S is beautifully tapered for light weight and complete comfort. The absolute perfect axe for the active player.

On top of that, the S features fast 22-fret Wizard necks, and a vast array of hardware and electronics. Now you know some of the reasons why the S is today's guitar and why the S has loyal adherents from progressive rock to death metal. But when you easily pickup the lightweight S, feel its curved body and hear its full tones, that's when you'll know the S is the guitar of the future.

Pretty long. I love it a lot. The only other guitar I'm probably going to buy is an acoustic Taylor.
Sound
The sound of this guitar is pretty good. I have this same model but older and is better made. I bought it for 700$ and it was worth around 1000$. Businesses seem to always get cheaper in constructing the guitar. I like the guitar very much. It gives me the sound that I want most of the time. I figure that it is my amp that is not giving me the just-right sound that I want, but since I'm only a 2-year player, I will get better and wiser about the instrument and its components.
Features
I liked the selector. It had five settings that gave me what I wanted to hear.
Quality
My model is, but I'm not sure about their newer model.
Value
Not now. I think they can make the S-Classic better in quality.
Manufacturer Support
I haven't came to them or anyother place to repair it. It is very reliable.
The Wow Factor
It is awesome. I had so many complements on its look. All the girls at school said it was very sexy.
