ACH1 Neck pup
ACH2 Bridge pup
3 Way Pickup select switch
2 Volume & 2 Tone nobs
21 Fret fretboard
Les paul style body with a deeper cutaway

Construction:
It's well constructed but I'm not sure I would trust it for gigging, and the strap button is on the back and can cause the strap to come off when playing. The neck and headstock and solid and the headstock has taken a few beatings and is still solid as a rock.

Sound:
The guitar has a great tone and since it's hollowbodied has a nice long sustain, although the guitar is really better clean it can scream too . I get no fret buzz and no buzzing buzzing when the guitar isn't being played.

Ease of Use:
Its very easy to use, the neck is low and thick, similar to that of a standard LP and the action is fast and low, I've never had any problems playing this guitar.

Reliability:
This is a pretty reliable guitar, it stays in tune even after 2 or 3 hours of playing. I've only dropped it once, but the cable pushed inside the body and made a hole around where the input jack. I ended up having to fit a stainless plate wthe hole so I can acutually plug the guitar in .

Overall:
9/10, because I wouldn't trust it at a gig where it may get thrown around.

Experience Level:
Playing for around 4/5 months now
