Following review text is verbal representation of numerical rating information:

A bit more features for the price asked is what most musicians would like to see from Michael Kelly's Vibe. Whether it's the quality of craftsmanship, or the price, musicians don't seem to like what Michael Kelly offered with Vibe.

Some say that the average is golden, and maybe that is true for Michael Kelly's Vibe as well. There are musicians who would like to see more features on Vibe, but Michael Kelly felt that Vibe provides enough features for a given price and the market that Michael Kelly aims for. Perhaps there are better equipped guitars then this one, but Vibe will deliver what it's built for.

Though it could be better, action of Michael Kelly's Vibe is not that bad at all. It may go out of tune when mistreated, but it's easily tuned back in no time. You won't be let down while playing Vibe's neck. Guitar does feel a bit cheaper, but it will last you a long time, if you handle it with care that each instrument should be getting anyhow.

Some might say that Michael Kelly didn't go all the way in providing a reliable and durable instrument, but Vibe isn't that bad. It will serve you well most of times, though you should be wary and have backups in situations where you feel Vibe might let you down, such as gigs and studio sessions.
