Great instrument at any price. I bought it to give my neck a rest from my Warwick streamer. It balances extremely well due to relatively light weight and long upper horn. The pickups sound a bit "congested" to me at lower volumes. They open up nicely at higher volumes. The sound sits well with other instruments in loud live playing situations. Playability is great. The neck is very thin front to back, and feels very lively and responsive due to the 35" scale and graphite reinforcement.
