While i don't own the weapon of mass destruction, i was fortunate enough to get to play it in the store today. I was a little disappointed to find that it was bolt on construction, the neck more than made up for it. It has a nice profile and i love the raw finish. The neck is super fast. I also had to give the guitar 4 stars for feature and quality because they could easily have dropped EMG HZ's instead of these but they're decent. All in all i can't complain. It stays in tune nicely and feel solid. If your looking for a great shred friendly axe that won't kill your wallet, this is the guitar to get.

I'm a big fan of the metal sounding gear. This guitar has most of the sound that I needed for the price. I play very aggressive, and needed a guitar that was going to measure up. It has done very well, stays in tune, sound is good from the stock pickups. The only feature that I don't care for is the volume knob location. I will soon change it to the forward location. Problem solved! For myself the guitar works well, comfortable to play, and looks great. Very pleased!

for the price, nothing compares. the pickups arent top of the line (theyre just a cheaper version of EMG passives) but it still sounds great. it has an extremely fast neck, and i love this guitar!

I dont own it but i was in the store today and played it....i have played the actual signature model as well. All i can say is....FAST NECK! Its probably one of the best contoured necks i have ever played on. Could be a little fatter for my long fingered skinny hands but....u can shred on this guitar. Now this is the cheeper model so no one should be surprised at the cheep pups and bolt on neck...otherwise its put together quite well and would be a good beginer guit or backup. Hell ive been playing for 25yrs and id buy it.

i tried this guitar yesterday at guitar center and thought that it looked good but that was all first of all the pickups are cheap, and they give off a lot of buzz i used a line 6 but it wasn't the problem i have the same amp at home the neck was flat and it had several dead frets on it the only other good thing i can say about it is that the floyd rose trem was absolutely amazing but i do not recomend this guitar unless your gonna spend a lot more money to fix it up.
