    Burstbuckers, a Floyd w/ tool attachment, 24 Accesible Frets, Flamed Finish, Binding, and a case (mine came broken). Seriously how much guitar can be packed into less than 1k? AMAZING The color is not as green as pictured though. Much more of a gray.

    The neck on this guitar is the thickest neck in my guitarmy... very nicely contoured and crafted into the body. I CAN get my fat little fingers on it well enough... makes some stretches like "Message in a Bottle" a little tougher for old hands, BUT still do-able. After I reset everything to work with 9's, which takes a while!!!, the neck and FloydRose settled in nicely. The fit and finish on this guitar is absolutely top notch; and to my surprise I like the way the PUPs sounded! I may or may not add a tone control; and the coil taps really do give a very different sound!

  • A month later, and it is still phenomenal!

    A lot of the times I get something and am blown away at first. With this guitar I'm amazed every time I play it. The quality of this instrument is amazing. It was set up perfect, I have not had to adjust a thing. The frets were finished perfect. The pickups are awesome, you can play anything from country twang to metal and everything in between. The Floyd Rose holds tune forever. Plus it's a real eye catcher. If you can get one, I highly recommend it.

  • Pretty smooth playing guitar.

    This guitar is aesthetically amazing. Sounds good. And the neck plays well, action came a little too high for my taste to but that can easily be fixed. The QC on my personal guitar was not great. Some of the frets had some residue that will need to deeply cleaned and a couple of dings on the fretboard.

  • This guitar is Killer

    This guitar is phenomenal. The neck pickup has a nice fat sounding clean and sound great distorted too. The bridge pickup screams. The finish of the guitar is flawless. The Floyd holds tune perfect. The fret work was spot on and came in setup great. You can play any style of music you want on this beast. I have a schecter E1 which isn't much different in price but the sound and quality between them are well worth the extra money. I would recommend this guitar over and over again.
