    How's the tone and feel of the guitar? I know EB makes killer basses but I've never known anyone that had an EB guitar.

    HNGD!

    Sweet guitar!

    I actually liked the SBMM bass better than the USA one. It had a clearer pickup and brighter tone. I know that the SBMM basses are very nice and would expect similar quality in the guitars.

    Very nice! I've heard many good things about those. They are quite a bit better than the old OLP versions apparently. I'd sure like to try one myself. I think I'm going to wait until they release an AL copy before I bite though.

    Congrats on your new baby.

    Pros:
    Pups sound GREAT!
    fit and finish are fantastic
    Very light
    Stock locking tuners
    Regular medium frets
    5-way switch split humbuckers

    Cons:
    Frets are tall
    small body (little small than a tele)
    small head makes tuners just a small bit crowded (no biggie)
    Single color choice
    No maple fretboard option

    Overall:
    Great little guitar. MUCH better than the OLP MusicMan but still affordable.
    Plays and sound super. The humbuckers are EXCELLENT! Attention to detail
    on this guitar is amazing. The asymmetrical neck is very comfortable to play.
    I really like this little guitar.....
