Overall Rating:
Chose this one for the string spacing and the woods used in the neck through design.
Price: $300.00
Where Obtained: Ebay seller
Features:
Korean made. Nice work with the wood, yet the frets needed to be glued, and the frets leveled and dressed. 24 frets on an ebony fretboard, 7 piece neck through made of walnut and maple. Body wings are Walnut. Two single coil pups, active electronics which are fair. Natural finish throughout. Individual bridge saddles. Wilkinson machine heads.
Playability:
Now that the frets are glued and leveled/dressed it plays like butter. Action low. String spacing about .75", which is nice for large hands. I will rate it according to the condition I received it after purchase.
Sound Quality:
I use it for home recording. The bass is great for slap and pluck, I do not tap, so I do not know about that. Sound is full and to my ear, a dark earthy tone. It sounds okay, but I am planning to replace the electronics when affordable.
Durability:
Just got it back from the luthier/repair-person, so I will have to update this section.
