This guitar is
AMAZING! Very versatile sound. I can go from playing the clean tones of
John Frusciante to Vaughan's muddy blues to Van Halen's Squeal to Chevelle's
CRUNCH. Sounds good in Standard & Dropped. I am playing it out of the
LINE 6 Spider I & Spider III just to try all the versatile sounds of
this guitar. It does have a sweet smooth bright sound to it. Wonderful
with clean tones. But there is still pleanty of bite with the heavy tones
too. Not as cruchy as say a Les Paul. But its still there. And even better...
NO NOISE!!! Quiet pickups.
Action, Fit, &
Finish : 10
I pulled this
out of the box and the intonation was perfect. I have NEVER had a guitar
with action like this. It is as SMOOTH AS SILK!!! You don't have to play,
the guitar does it for you!!! Comfortable neck too.
This guitar is
BEAUTIFUL!!! The shades of blue on this quilt top are intense. Much better
than a guitar that stick to one color all over. This thing in incredible.
And the whole guitar is stained blue. So not only is their a quilt top.
But the neck and the back are blue with a nice blue wood grain.
Reliability/Durability

I haven't had
this guitar for over a year yet. But so far I am impressed so I am sure
this baby can stand up to what you dish out at it.
As far as gigging
with it without a backup. I bought one in every color just cause the first
one was so awesome. And all have them have been phenomenal!

Ok, so you're
wondering who is this guy and why does what he say matter?
I am an advent
guitar player and collector. I have currently over 30+ just in my room
and in my time so far I have owned over 100+ guitars. Gibson, Fender, Parker,
PRS, ESP, Danelectro, BC Rich, Gretch, Ibanez ect. I have owned any played
EVERYTHING. You gotta pick a hobby, and its just slightly cheaper than
crack, so I went with it. I use LINE 6 only because it allows me to switch
my playing styles so effortlessly. I got from Beatles to Meshuggah. I LOVE
THIS GUITAR. It has some of the BEST action out of any guitar that I own.
I have PRS guitars, hell the factor is only an hour away from me. Played
back to back you won't know any better. Except you payed a few thousand
less for your Cielo. This is THE BEST DEAL EVER for the money you will
spend. The is NOTHING OUT THERE as good as this guitar for $200. Hell there
are guitars for $1000 that aren't as good as this guitar. I'm telling you,
once you play the Sultana by Cielo, your jaw will hit the floor. Amazing
AMAZING guitars. Period. |
