Rokkin' ax

Reviewer's Play Style: Anything 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 love this guitar. . I thought it would suck since it was so cheap, but turns out I was wrong. It's pretty sweet. Only thing that is kind of weak is that yes, you have to stand while playing it, but thats to be expected. Great guitar, surprised it doesn't go for more.

Not Too Amazing
Posted by Brad from Redding, CA on Mar 20, 2008

Reviewer's Play Style: Deathcore, hardcore, death metal, thrash metal.
I got this guitar after seeing, and hearing a demo of it played. When I got it however, I realized the pickups are horrible, and it's almost impossible to tune. It's easy to move hands up and down frets, but other than that and the fact that it's pretty, I would not recommend buying this guitar.
