Comment:

For quick reference, I love this guitar and would highly recommend to anyone who plays electric guitar.

I purchased this with the intention of using as a "studio guitar". I mostly play heavy metal and my style typically includes lots of galloping riffs and soloing.

Guitar is well made, all hardware is installed correctly and the set up is excellent. No blemishes in the finish whatsoever (I checked every inch, all along the bindings, inlays etc.) and the appearances are unparalleled. The see through black finish is exceptionally beautiful both on the quilted maple top and on the mahogany body. Surprisingly lightweight for a mahogany body.

Excellent playability, very comfortable to play both sitting and standing. Neck has an awesome feel and is quite thin, which may put some people off who prefer a fatter neck. There’s no annoying elbow where the neck meets the body and makes soloing uncomfortable.

Obviously this is aimed at a more extreme audience given the high output EMG pickups. In all honesty they’re probably the only thing I’m not 100% sold on with this guitar. Don’t get me wrong, they sound great but I might swap them out for duncans or fishmans. Again, this is just personal preference and I’m still on the fence especially as the brushed black chrome finish on the EMGs looks amazing.

To conclude, I have zero regrets and don’t think you could do much better than this!

Comment:

Great guitar, great price.

Using it to practice and record which is why I particularly enjoy the EMG active pickups. Very powerful and it’s easy to push the sound through the mix with them. The guitar feels strong and fast, especially with a set of 11’s in standard D tuning or drop C. Awesome for metal 🙂 Locking tuners work great as well. I like playing standing up so it’s important to note that this guitar has a good balance with a strap, not nose heavy at all. String action is great but I lowered it at the bridge by just a quarter of a turn on both ends

The only couple of not so great things I can mention (really nothing special at all) is that one of the machine heads was a tiny bit loose (fixed in a couple of seconds) and that the battery cover is super difficult to pry open. You have to be very careful and use plastic pry tools to not get scratches.

All in all, if you like metal, super powerful sound and great feel, this is a guitar for you!
