the treble end is downright awful. The bass is good, though, since the scale's a bit long. There's enough flex in the assembley to, quite literally, bend notes up about half a step or so. It'll make some cool sounds if you push it, which, i've heard from owners of similar frames, it didn't do in bike form.
