No problems with feedback, but I'm not allowed to play loudly in the house-one of the reasons I don't usually play an electric, because they're not much fun if they're quiet, are they? The pickup selector switch went immediately (just like my Epiphone Dot), and when I got it fixed I had the cheapo plastic nut replaced with bone (just like my Dot). Skinny neck-probably too skinny for me-and the pickguard has never fit properly, but it sounds good.
