Don't tell anybody about these guitars i don't want the price to go up. Mine came flawless low action setup. The neck is thin sweet and narrow. Grover tuners Graphteck nut coil tap for $400. The pickups are where this guitar is lacking, there fine but if your a seasoned player you'll notice the difference. All in all I'm very very impressed with this guitar. Pickup up change is in the near future.

I was very sceptical about buying this guitar . It came in 2 days ! Big shout out to zZounds for making it all possible! Fit and finish excellent. The case is perfect and has a plush interior and fits the guitar snug. The sounds are excellent and the only complaint was I had to fix the nut the A string was cut way to deep causing it to buzz badly but once I did that I've not put it down and play it every night after work. Thank you zZounds you are an excellent buisness and have It's a pleasure to purchase from you!

This is an excellent guitar. I would buy this again without question. I have owned several other guitars. Nothing like American made. Other end of the market. With knowing what affordable guitars are like, I can say that looks great and plays great. It arrived ready to play. I am thrilled to own my Patriot. My last guitar was less expensive and did not feel like a real guitar. There is no doubt that this is the real deal. It is just a marvelous instrument. This is a wood instrument, and without looking, I would say a pretty solid piece of wood. Not sure of the weight. I wanted a wood instrument without a pic guard and one that looks great. This is it. I would by a Michael Kelly Patriot Decree again.

I read a different review on AMS regarding the same issue I ran into when I got my new Michael Kelly Patriot; the way the guitar is packaged is awful. It looked like it was thrown in the box before being shipped and if anything I’m surprised the guitar wasn’t broken upon arrival. It’s a really pretty guitar, and beyond the normal issues you’d expect from a $400 guitar like fretwork, setting up, blemishes in the finish, this guitar is well worth the money! You do run a high risk of poor packaging though, and though it didn’t happen to me the other guy from AMS had to order two Michael Kelly’s because the packaging was so bad both his guitars arrived broken.
