Owners note the strap button is placed behind the neck, requiring strap modification for secure fitment.

Some owners report the need to shim the neck to achieve lower action, as the strings remain high even with the bridge fully adjusted.

The guitar's wooden and metal bridge design can complicate restringing, as it's held by tension from the strings.

The guitar is noted for being louder than expected when played unplugged, making it suitable for casual playing without an amp.

Some owners find the guitar enjoyable for solo practice but less satisfying in a band setting due to its dry, lifeless sound in larger rooms.

Owners dislike the NOS+ pickguard's printed logo and seek replacements, but note that the top-mounted jack input complicates interchangeability.

Ideal for open and drop tunings like DADGAD and open G, especially when paired with drive and fuzz effects.
