I've been playing it for almost 3 years. I've done a lot of custom work on it to make it really mine, but it was really good before I changed anything on it.
Sound
For the price, the sound is really something. The humbuckers are smooth and powerful & the coil taps really make it versatile. The excellent mahogany body & neck combo really lend some sustain to the guitar. It's great for all kinds of music, though I wouldn't really recommend it for metal.
Features
300 bucks & you get mahogany body & neck, coil taps for both pickups, pretty decent hardware. It really is worth twice what you pay for, and I'm sure if it was a Fender, you would be paying twice as much.
Ease of Use
Plug in & play, very small learning curve on the controls as you can figure them all out in about 10 seconds. Very playable, beefy neck, I love the neck probably the most as it's substantial but no overly large. Plus the satin neck finish makes it a dream to play on, no friction on you hands what so ever.
Quality
Pretty darn good for a Korean factory, well soldered electronics, good finish, no blemishes or anything like that. Great work horse on the road as you'd have a hell of a time trying to break it.
Value
this thing is better than any guitar selling for 500 bucks or less.
Manufacturer Support
never needed to contact them.
The Wow Factor
Awesome looks, a style all its own, its looks alone are what first caught my eye!

"Nice look..but!"

Nice vintage look more than anything else..
Sound
I own a Epi Black Beauty and Gibson Standard SG. For the sound of this axe I can't really compare to my main axe it's not my type. Lack of sustain, bite, crunch and thickness. The playability is nice not quite fast in action compare to my guitars mention above.
Features
quite simple vintage.. great overall
Quality
The quality is just fine.. mahogany body it's nice.
Value
The mean reason why I buy this axe is the classic and vintage look. It looks cool. But I take my chances on the stock pick-ups It's not really good for me. It's kind of weak. It's not really fit's my needs. I would say the value is just fair..
Manufacturer Support
no comment
