I also own a custom shop hollowbody guitar (about $600) for jazz and funk, and I use the Silvertone just as much.
Sound
One tip: go to your local guitar shop and have them replace the wires that run in between the knobs, selector switch, and output jack. Within a year of owning this guitar, the original wires gave out and it started to sound awful or not play at all. After the wires were replaced and the guitar had a shop tune up (cost me $15,) this guitar sounds incredible, especially considering the price. I use it for my regular rehearsal guitar for jazz band practices and as a show guitar for some of the more rock and blues based tunes we do. This is also an excellent funk guitar. Keep the bass up and the treble down and use an amp with good punch.
Features
Has all the features you would want out of a guitar. Nothing over the top, but it has what you need to get a good range of sounds and characteristics.
Ease of Use
I got this 4 years ago for Christmas as my first guitar. It was easy to pick up then, and still feels like a good guitar now.
Quality
This is a very well crafted guitar minus the wires, which are crap. For the price, the value is unmatched. A comprably priced squier strat pales in comparison.
Value
Incredible value. If you take care of this guitar, it will last you a long time and serve you well.
Manufacturer Support
I've had no experience with the company.
The Wow Factor
I've had a couple comments, but really it's just a generic "electric guitar-guitar" look.
