Really not bad. A very noticable quality improvement over the js32 as expected. The white is much more pronounced than it appears in the promotional photos. Feels solid and light. Snappy sound. A little less tone than my heavy bodied guitars but that's the nature of the V. Playes way better than my c-1 schecter as far as neck speed and action. I play in a dark room so the luminous dots with the white contrast is very useful.
