Semi-Hollow Body Electric Guitar RD-100 Jazz Guitar with F-Hole,Maple neck,humbucker Pickups(Brown)

I used to own a Gibson 335 that I bought used around 1972 and sold around 20 years later, preferring to play a customized Les Paul copy that I played in a band. What shocks me is that I like this guitar better in *every* way! I took it to a local shop to fine-tune the setup. I told them to do a fret-level if needed and, when I picked it up, they told me only one fret needed attention. The action is now lower than any guitar I've ever had and, remarkably, it is completely buzz-free. The sound is great! It works for Rock, Blues, and Jazz styles by adjusting the guitar and amp settings. It stays in tune, the neck feels perfectly comfortable, and it *feels* good--both resting in my lap when sitting and standing with a strap. I can't recommend it highly enough!

Wow! I've had several budget guitars in the 25+ years I've played and this one was a surprise. I bought the Redid RD-100 in brown. The finish looks and feels great. Only complaint on the finish is I would like to see the grain come through the color a bit more (grain is more prominent in the pics compared to in-person). Tuners feel fine and it stays in tune pretty well. The pickups were a big surprise. I usually switch out cheap pups with something else, but these sound really nice. I took some readings and the neck is 7.3k and the bridge 13.3k. I usually like the neck around 8k but the bridge is a little hotter than I look for. The sound is great, though. Nice, warm sound that I would expect from a guitar like this.I made a few adjustments out of the box; changed strings, oiled the fretbooard and adjusted the truss rod and action. After that it plays really nice. I also switched out the knobs for reflector knobs (I hate the look of speed knobs). I also threw some finger slicers(knob pointers) on.The only real con of this guitar is the pots. They worked fine from the factory, BUT they're the wrong taper. They used linear for all 4(2xvol, 2xtone) and it works OK for tone, but the volume pots are useless after 3 or 4. I switched them out for some logarithmic taper pots from The Art of Tone and the volume works much better.I'm just a guitar hobbyist player and I use semi-hollow for all types of music when I play; rock, metal, clean etc. This guitar does it all. Ask Larry Carlton. From Beatles chime to Alex Lifeson to Josh Homme you can't go wrong with a 335-style guitar. Overall, this was a very satisfying purchase.

For a guitar under $200, it's fn awesome. Sounds great, plays well and is very easy on the eyes.Mine did need some adjustment (a truss rod tweak), and a few frets may need leveling and/or end dressing. There is also a slight blemish in the finish that's only apparent if you're looking for it (~ 2mm). But that's about it.Perfect for a novice or intermediate player like myself. I dig it!

Beautiful Guitar Shipping was fast great price for this piece of Muscical instruments* I did not receive the picks that was Included in the sale

After purchasing a Westcreek 333 and a Grote 335 in red I found the guitar I have been looking for. The Westcreek was light and tinny sounding to my ear. The strings had not been wound properly (way to few windings around tuners), and four or five frets on first string high notes we’re high and I could push them down into fret board. Tried gently tapping them in with rubber mallet and that didn’t do it. Also had three high frets that needed leveling. It had poor sustain and would not stay in tune at all, so back it went.The red Grote was much better as far as playing acoustically. Had fuller sound, no loose frets, strings were wound correctly and it weighed substantially more. It still had a few high frets and needed the relief let out a tad but big difference in overall quality than with the Westcreek. So what could be the problem? With a little more setup the red Grote would have been fine, I just didn’t care for the fire engine red and the binding looked like it had a yellow tinge to it, soooo back she went.Got the “brown” Redid today and it’s even better, a lot! Strings stay in tune after proper stretching, neck very straight with two very minimally high frets. No fret buzz and with factory strings, this guitar sounds full and balanced straight out of the box. Action is whereI like it and cords are easy to play. I will be turning fifty five in a couple months and have been looking at semi hollow body guitars because my solidbodies are hard for me to hear without an amp and that’s how I like to play. I can hear this one fine and funny thing is this guitar resonates sound out of both f holes better than the other two. This guitar has a lot of sustain acoustically on both open and barr chords. Bends great up and down the neck on first and second strings. BTW the neck is 1 11/16 wide at the nut (same as my squire strat), and is very comfortable to my handThe front and sides of the redid have near perfect finish with a little bleed through on the f holes, but that isn’t noticeable unless you’re really close up. The back however, has three or four spots that have what appears to be fisheye in the finish. This could possibly be wet sanded and buffed out, but Its on the back so I’m not going to worry about it. I took one star off of craftsmanship because of that, but this guitar for me is easy to without having to get used to neck or body shape. I totally recommend!

Overall this is a pretty good deal for the money. However, quality assurance at the factory needs work. Mine came with very high action. I found out the reason for this is because the frets were not very level, especially near the neck pickup. I found that many of the fret ends were not seated properly. The frets pulled out of the fingerboard easily. Rather than attempt to level the frets on my own, I chose to send it back. If it were not for the poor QA I would have kept it. The tuners on this one were perfect, I really liked the pickups and overall the rest of the hardware and electronics were fine. There were several buffing marks and compound on the body and neck. I was able to buff them out and clean it up, but there were still several light scratches. Overall this was minor and did not affect my decision to send it back.

This guitar looks amazing plays perfect right out of the box. Easy to tune. Stays in tune. Amazing price!

What a beautiful guitar! So happy I got it.
