Excellent guitar, stays in tune really well, plays easily, ergonomic and beautifully crafted. It looks gorgeous too. Some very slight annoyances I have with it are the lack of some kind of info in the package or on the website about what the split coil positions/voicings do, but I figured it out by simply playing in every configuration. The other is the position of the switch, it's slightly too low and close to the cutout that sits on the leg, and I sometimes flip it by accident if I play with my leg bent up on my chair (again, very minor issue, you're not supposed to play in this shrimp position). Overall you're getting a Strandberg Essentials sans the Enduro neck, and the Fishman Fluence pickups sound great, especially if you're into metal, but using the split coils you can get a lot of variety and warmth out of the tone as well. And for the price, it really is a steal.
