Honeyburst finish turns out to be it's best feature. These pickups just don't deliver though. The single coils fail miserably on this point. No definition from the 4th selector setting. Humbucker does have some decent output but again has no real distinct tone.
Hardware seem durable.
I'll never be able to depend on it live. If you break a string the tension shifts and it goes WAY out of tune. With exception of finish and decent fretboard, I hate this guitar. A Havn't dealt just yet but may give them an earful for peddling such a useless item. If it were stolen, I'd track the culprit down and thank him for it.
