The tremolo rattles. (it's riveted so you can't tighten it) There is a harmonic sound that comes from the tremolo area on certain notes. . . Other than that, it's a beautiful guitar! The action is good. The finish is excellent (except for the neck binding which has turned pink from buffing I would guess) Stays in tune well (not excellent) Sounds great except for ringing harmonic. All in all, I like the guitar and the look of the sideways tremolo. The tremolo itself is hard to use and with the loose handle it's better to forget it. The guitar was shipped in the case in a Gibson box from zZounds but the bottom seal had been broken. Not sure if it was from their "setup" or if it had been returned. Anyway, I'm fairly happy. Note: I bought a cheap Chinese Hendrix SG copy ($400) and to be honest, it plays as well if not better than the "real" deal at 2g's . . go figure . . ..
