Custom Line Manhattan-Standard : Amazing guitar for the price.

4 years ago

Acoustically it's quite good, and the pickups certainly arent bad either.

It plays really well after a good setup, but i think the 6th fret is a little high; my friend got one too and he's got a couple of deadspots on the neck, so keep that in mind.

The tuners and/or nut aren't the best, and you will have to carve out the string spacing on the bridge yourself.

The paint job is decently consistent, the one i got was much brighter than the one pictured, but my friend's one was basically akin to the pictures, so maybe they fixed this after i bought mine, but i'd keep that in mind.

All in all: i love this guitar and bring it everywhere, i would reccomend it to both those who want a cheap archtop, and ones (like me) who will add and modify various aftermarket parts.
