Wow! I've had several budget guitars in the 25+ years I've played and this one was a surprise. I bought the Redid RD-100 in brown. The finish looks and feels great. Only complaint on the finish is I would like to see the grain come through the color a bit more (grain is more prominent in the pics compared to in-person). Tuners feel fine and it stays in tune pretty well. The pickups were a big surprise. I usually switch out cheap pups with something else, but these sound really nice. I took some readings and the neck is 7.3k and the bridge 13.3k. I usually like the neck around 8k but the bridge is a little hotter than I look for. The sound is great, though. Nice, warm sound that I would expect from a guitar like this.I made a few adjustments out of the box; changed strings, oiled the fretbooard and adjusted the truss rod and action. After that it plays really nice. I also switched out the knobs for reflector knobs (I hate the look of speed knobs). I also threw some finger slicers(knob pointers) on.The only real con of this guitar is the pots. They worked fine from the factory, BUT they're the wrong taper. They used linear for all 4(2xvol, 2xtone) and it works OK for tone, but the volume pots are useless after 3 or 4. I switched them out for some logarithmic taper pots from The Art of Tone and the volume works much better.I'm just a guitar hobbyist player and I use semi-hollow for all types of music when I play; rock, metal, clean etc. This guitar does it all. Ask Larry Carlton. From Beatles chime to Alex Lifeson to Josh Homme you can't go wrong with a 335-style guitar. Overall, this was a very satisfying purchase.
