The neck feels really nice, and the guitar is nice to play in general.
The build quality is good. The f-holes look nice from the outside, but look slightly jagged from the inside, and the white paint seems a bit yellowish in certain spots - these issues are not really noticeable for anyone other than the person playing the guitar, so it's not a big deal.
The pickups are great. The cleans sound lovely, I'm finding it to be a great guitar for jangley/post-punk stuff. They sound suprisingly good distorted as well, they work great for metalcore stuff (though you might need to play around with a gate and an EQ to tame eventual hum/feedback). Other than cleans, I had the best results with light fuzz; you can get notes to feed back in a very natural and controlled way, and it sounds great.
I'm really liking the acoustic resonance of this guitar. I recorded the unplugged sound of the guitar with a mic pointing to the body, and used that recording as an "acoustic guitar" in a full mix with other instruments, and it's really convincing.
The body is also not as thick as I thought, which is nice; it's really comfortable to play. One thing to note is that the back of the guitar is also slightly contoured (there's an "archtop" on the back too), which I wasn't expecting, but it might make things more ergonomic.
The single cut is a bit more pronounced than I was expecting, certainly more compared to a Les Paul. I'm finding it a bit troublesome to reach the highest 3-4 frets - I might get used to it over time.
The tuning stability seems alright. I've only had this for a week or so, so the strings might still need to set in, but I'm finding that it goes slightly sharp between each session. However, I'm not having issues while playing, which is great. I only use the Bigsby lightly.
