No pun intended, but the CMF 50 ($399 retail/$299 Street) has you well covered in the playability and tone departments. This lightweight guitar sounds quite good in clean and distorted modes—which is partly due to a solid bar-style tailpiece that’s semi adjustable and equipped with fixed, compensated saddles. The intonation proved surprisingly tuneful, and the comfortable, satin-finished neck was a pleasure, despite some B-string buzzing above the 10th fret. Some elements of the CMF’s looks are a bit jarring, however: The matte finished back and sides with a glossy top, the pearly buttons on the tuners and knob tops, and those bow-ties-and-ice cubes fretboard inlays. Still, this is a fun guitar to play, and a square deal for anyone with a budget that’s as tightly stretched as an artist’s canvas.

Construction
Well finished in all areas. Very tight neck-to-body joint. Frets are super polished, but the ends are prickly. Nut is well seated, but corners are sharp. Could lose a few of the oddball visual elements.

Playability
Satin neck feels great. Compact and lightweight. Action is low, and the setup quite good. Sounds satisfyingly in tune in spite of the fixed bridge.

Tones
Round and smooth sounding. Distortion tones well balanced. Stays clear when turned down. Nice Tone control voicing. Gets a good crispy jangle, but can also do the creamy jazz thing on the neck pickup.
