It's nice to play. The sound is ok for some raunchy material but I put on TV jones classic pups and I really like them. It feels a bit 'plastic' but it plays just fine and has that semi-hollow resonance.
This is a great playing, looking sounding guitar. I have owned some american gretsch guitars and this model is exceptional. What a guitar for the money. My action iis set at 2/64th at the 12th fret no buzz.A very light guitar 6- lbs. A beautiful walnut stain that has a lot of red in it.
