Ive been looking at this guitar for about year, deciding between this and a Dean Soltero. I decided on the ec and just picked it up from the store this morning... I made the right choice. Its super thin, the neck is fast and smooth, and the EMG pickups give me the sound Ive been trying to get forever. Theyre amazingly clear even with high gain and the pinch harmonics sing. The sustain is unbelievable and its sooo easy to play. The higher frets are a little tough to get to, but that comes with just about any les paul shape. If youre thinking about this guitar, dont think anymore...just buy it. You WONT be disappointed.

I played one at a local music shop on a Spider III and sounded absolutely amazing. The EMG's are great. Its light weight, has a great neck, and had a great over all feel to it. I am considering buying but I don't have the money =(. If you are thinking about getting this guitar. GET IT!!!

I recently purchased this guitar (see-thru black) and have to say that I'm blown away by it. Bright, solid and lightweight, it easily rivals other guitars I've played that cost 2-3x as much. The see-thru black finish is actually much darker than it appears in the image. Also, mine came with grover tuners instead of esp. You won't hear me complain! This is truly a guitar you can fall in love with.

This guitar is great. When you pick it up it feels like it didnt just come out of a machine but was put together very carefully. The tone is incredible as a result of the mahogany body and set neck. The EMGs only add to to it giving it plenty of sustain and a great crunch with distortion. I play it through a BOSS ml2 and Line 6 spider and it is truly a great instrument for any player.
