I own one of these kolorkats, they have great action, i play it often, it seems to fit perfectly in my hands, i really like the way the dearmond pickups sound,i consider it to be a well made, great sounding and compatible to more expensive guitars, - skeet - 2007-05-15
Had a couple of these in the mid 90's in mint shape. You could find em at guitar shows for 75 bucks then! Every bit as giid as a mustang or jag, possobly better, from an eccentric/eonomic standpoint. Fun players! - moodylanegang - 2007-11-16
my first guitar and sounds awesome. plenty of grit with just enough bite, good rhythm guitar, i actually have used it on a few metal tracks.
