1st demo is out of tune. But the cleans sound nice in the 2nd demo, especially on the neck pick up.

Man I fixed the intonation and everything but I'm not sure what's out. I think it's actually only very slightly out, but I'm approaching the strings at a weird angle so I pull them upwards slightly.
I just adjusted the action and it's not holding tune very well now. I might have to stretch out the strings again... hate doing that. Might be an idea to replace the set soon but I hate doing that.
All the Cleans are on the neck pickup I think as I'm switching between the two to get a clean/dirty sound. I get some bleed from the bridge pickup which actually isn't a bad thing since it makes it more sparkly.

Thats interesting, sounds very nice warm though. Lower end guitars are a bit tough to get playing well but once they're set up right, they're quite fun.

It actually plays beautifully. It doesn't have the "solid" feel a high end Gibson will have since it's lighter(I need this for my bad arm) but it still has that really buttery, easy to play kind of feel.
It was also shipped internationally and arrived very fast, could have something to do with why it was a bit out. The strings were all loose and stuff too. I think that was done to try and stop it getting damaged or something I guess. If the action is set lower it juts out less.

That sounded pretty good! Not really a fan of the look of the Sheena, but it sure has a nice sound from those clips you did.

Mine's a special one with Dual Humbuckers... the Single Coil it ships with is kinda weak and not useful for dirty tones really.
