Comment:

This guitar is simply amazing! The amount of sounds and tones you can muster up is endless. I have never had a guitar with the push/pull function before, but man it is just like have two guitars in one. The look and feel of it is also out of the ordinary.

The only negative thing I would have to say about this guitar is the nut. To me it is ridiculous that they made such a "high end" guitar and they chose to use such a crappy nut. It looks and feels like a piece of wood you just found in your back yard, and painted by a three year old. I have read other comments about this guitar and it seems like this is a common problem. Basically you will have to change the nut to get the maximum out of your guitar.

I never knew that the quality of the nut was so important, but it actually is. That’s why I gave it 4 out of 5 stars on quality. But it’s an easy fix. Change the nut and it’s right up on 5 stars!

Comment:

Guitar arrived well packed and no complaints about delivery – thanks Thomann for that .Guitar is very well made and exactly meet my expectations, PRS guitar is high quality as usually! Pickups are excellent, extremely comfortable fret board. But on the picture posted on Thomann web-site on head stock clearly is indicated that product is made in Korea, but mine is made in Indonesia. And it is not good misguide customer like this. For me, as payer, guitar is really good and I would really recommend it to buy, but whenever you decide to sell gear it is important there it’s made and products made in Kora attracting much more attention than made in Indonesia.
