  I Purchased this mean machine an im not dissapointed at all . its the best bang for buck ive played out there. Very nice h.s.s pickup configuration gives you a hot bridge tone with lots of harmonics and the single coils sing out with a nice british/strat..like tone...but suprisingly dont feedback or hum much.The kicker is unlike many guitars wich have some singlecoils it stays in tune with the floyd rose tremelo so you can have a nice clean or dirty sound with the single coils or a rock/metal sound with the humbuker and do all the trem bends you want. ITS DA BOMB .TRY ONE ITS A BUDGET MANS DREAM AXE.The maple fretboard looks and plays nice.

  This was my first actual "good" guitar, and a nice guitar it was, I loved the maple fingerboard, very smooth (even like it more than rosewood) and no grain in the wood of the fingerboard. It's easy to reach the 24th fret without a problem, the floyd rose special bridge was insanly nice and divebombing a pinch harmonic was something that sounded freaking amazing. The pickups are ment for metel, even if you play clean it sounds like the it will get heavy. I usually stayed on the bridge pickup for anything that I played with distortion, nice rich crunchy sound, action is nice and really low, it gets slightly higher as you near the 24th fret. The neck is smoother than... marble? lol well it broke in a car accident but I f&%$ing loved that thing! ESP by the way doesn't make necks unless you are willing to order a custom one but that's big money! 295 bucks for this guitar is almost insane, worth about 350-450 if you ask me. Let me warn you, it's not easy though to change strings on this thing, it explains how however in the manual that comes with the guitar, still tricky though. One more warning, if you wanna play drop C or anything out of the standard E tuning you will have to adjust the springs in the guitar to compensate for the string tension you take away from lowering to drop C. Drop D is alright, there won'e be too much difference from E, C however, and adjusting will be needed or else the Floyd Rose bridge will be lower into the body than usual. Besides that it's a very nice guitar that's smooth quick and can scream like a baby falling out of an airplane. -Nick-

  I bought this guitar about a month ago and I'm pretty impressed. The guitar not only looks awesome but it also sounds pretty decent. The pick ups provides excellent quality sound and is quiet even with high gain. The humbucking pick up makes the harmonics sound good and loud. Playing guitar solos sound excellent in this guitar as well. The action is great too and the guitar can handle heavy gauge strings without a need for a nut adjustment. (If you use heavy gauge strings I recommend you buy more springs, nevertheless this guitar comes with 3 springs.) The only thing I didn't like about the guitar is the tone the upper single coil provides.
