I have had nothing but positive experiences with my Rimini 12. I get all the sounds I could possibly want (yes those sounds) at a fraction of the price, and while the materials used in the construction might not be hand crafted by Cloistered Monks or Ancient Aliens, the bottom line is that the fit and finish is excellent. Nothing cheap about the build or the performance. Quality components put together in a quality manner. I have owned Rickenbackers, American Fenders, Gibsons and Pro-line Gretschs. It is no longer necessary to spend $1500.00 and up to get a professional quality instrument. A number of companies are putting together great guitars without the high priced logos.
