Obviously it could be told by the picture that this is a beautiful guitar and no comparison to it in person. Really versatile guitar. I wasn't sure how useful the tri-tone switch would be and it turns out it is. I've had the guitar for a month now and I haven't touched my PRS or Paul. It is my first semi-hollow. I had the guitar set up with 11's before delivery and I'm glad I did.… read more Ready to play out of the box. The only thing I may upgrade are the tuners but overall I am extremely happy. I never bought a guitar online before and my engineer Loui is fantastic. He answered all my questions via email quickly and was patient with all my questions. I'm a happy man.
Beautiful!

Everything about this guitar screams BEAUTIFUL! The looks, the sound, the features, and it even comes with a very nice hardshell case. A big plus at this great price. The only changes I'll be making will be some locking tuners and lighter strings. Of course another fantastic job by Sweetwater's setup team and my favorite sales person Clint B was on top of everything like always!… read more THANKS!

Firstly, the process. I bought a demo. Colton Kreuzer was my sales engineer and he did a fantastic job helping me with pricing, setup, delivery options and miscellaneous details. He was thoroughly professional, congenial and kept me informed via follow-up emails about the status of my order. (Even sent me photos of my guitar so I could "show off" to my friends.) If he is a typical… read more Sweetwater sales engineer then this company knows how to hire and train. You will be in good hands. Secondly, the guitar. I've got a 1981 Ibanez Musician PW-150. It has stood the test of time and the quality is top-notch. So, I quickly zeroed in on this guitar as my choice for semi-hollow. Although a demo, the few cosmetic flaws that Sweetwater thoroughly and accurately documented were almost invisible. The guitar is a beaut! The tone is well balanced and the electronics work flawlessly. The neck was thicker than I was used to but now I don't even notice it. The fret-board is nice and wide so my fat fingers have no problem cleanly fingering notes, bending is a breeze and the upper 20-22 frets are easily accessible. I can't pretend to compare with hallmarks such as a Gibson ES-335 - never played one and probably never will. But, it does have that distinctive semi-hollow sound and sustain so, if that's what you want, you will be happy with this axe.
