Full disclosure, I dont own a lot of electric guitars. I have a Fender Squire I got in the late 90's and a BC Rich Warlock Bronze I purchased in 2000 and now I own this beast of a machine! This is by far the best guitar I have ever played personally. I have played several high end guitars in the past, such as Les Paul's and such but this guitar...it just feels right. The neck is something special to hold. It is just buttery smooth. Your hand just glides all over this thing. Hitting pinch harmonics are so easy. I feel like I can almost get them anywhere and on any string. Same goes with natural harmonics. I feel like I am finding secret places on that guitar everyday. The Lo-Pro Edge Tremolo System is fantastic as well. This is my first floating bridge guitar I have, and have played for that matter, but it just screams! The strings also stay in tune pretty good. I may have to adjust the fine tuners ever so slightly after a good long session of hitting reverse dive bombs and flutters. The DiMarzio pick ups sound great too. I am running it through a Boss Katana 100 MKII and it just sounds incredible on it. The coil tap is pretty cool too but for my playstyle I prefer keeping them in humbucker mode. The finish on this guitar is so cool! I didnt like it in the pictures but then I saw someone playing it online and thought, that actually looks kinda cool. When I got the guitar in and opened the case, my jaw hit the floor. It looks SO awesome in person. Even better then I thought it would be. I brought it into my local Guitar Center to have the guitar tech take a look at it and several customers in the store instantly were drawn too it and wanted to look at it. It truly is remarkable to look at. The way the light changes the color on the Cosmic Shadow finish. It seriously goes from black to reflective silver depending on how it hits the guitar. It's like it is alive. My only small disappointment, but easily fixable if setup, is the low E buzzes a little.
