Great Guitar

Experience w/product: I own it

Reviewer's Play Style: from blues to Death metal
This guitar is great for shredding legato licks, rockish chords, and even slow clean jazz melodies. It has a thin neck that is rounded slightly, but, unlike Ibanez necks, isnt flat. This guitar is great for playing fast heavy modern style metal and good old classic british rock. The pickups are very high output and have good low and high frequency, although the fact that they are P-90's (single coils) and they are so high output, they do have alot of feedback, but with a noise gate thats not a problem at all. This guitar is really light too, bot like a les paul, and it is easy to sit down and stand up and play with...it just takes some getting used to but after two or three days it has a very comfortable feel. Overall I think taht this is an awsome guitar and it is deffitnally worth the price. I would only change three things on it though. I wihs the pickups werent as noisey. I wish that it had two volume pots because I prefer that. And when I got my guitar there were some small bumps on the neck but I fixed that with some sandpaper, and also there is amark on the back of the headstock like something scuffed it but that dosent affect any tonal qualities at all, but thats the reason that I only gave it a 3.5 in quality. But this is an awsome guitar for any type of music.

I bought this guitar with high expections. Sadly, it didn't even come close. I was probably the worst choice I have ever made when it comes to guitars.It falls apart in a few weeks. However, the price is pretty good. I would not recommend it, unless of course you want to sound very bad.

Man I bought this guitar two months ago and its already broken!!! Now nothing comes out of all my amps but buzzing, not even a little string sound! Nothing!!! Even when it was working, it would buzz like crazy! In fact, so bad I couldnt even eq it out!!! The looks are the only good thing goin for it. Even then you cant sit down and play it. I definitely wouldn't recommend it to any one who wants to play metal, or guitar in general!! You can find something way better for the price.

This Guitar Will Rip Your Head Off

I saw this guitar in a magazine and i instantly fell in love with it. The price is great and it's definitely worth it!! The tone is killer and the fretboard is thin and it allows for really fast riffs and stuff. It's an extremely light guitar and its equally balanced, so you dont have to worry about it tipping on one side while you're shredding. The only set back is the buzzing noise is there,but I'll buy something to help that and you cant sit down and play it that well because of the shape, but other than that its an awesome deal! I've had it for 2 days and i'm still overjoyed about it!! So dont hesitate its a killer guitar!!!!!
