Phenomenal
Posted by ESP for life from USA on Oct 12, 2009
Experience w/product: I own it
Reviewer's Background: In a band
Reviewer's Play Style: anything metal
Pros: Amazing sound, i don't know if people realize these pickups are in guitars priced twice as much as this one, it has a fast neck, good finish, and can really take a beating.

Cons: Heavy on the neck side, but can be fixed with a leather strap, no tremolo system.

All in all probably the best guitar in this price range by a long shot.

An amazing hard rock guitar

I got this guitar 4 months ago, it's one of the best i've played on. The EMG's really crank out that typical crunch that any rock guitarist could like. The sustain is awesome, and it sounds amazing. The one thing that it needs is a floyd rose tremolo. Besides that, this is well worth your money. This guitar is great for metallica, bullet for my valentine, atreyu, a7x, 3 days grace, and black label society songs.

Incredible guitar

You can learn the specs so I wont bore you... the EMG's are phenomenal! this guitar is designed for metal but anything will work including clean (dont listen to BS that EMG wont produce nice clean sound). The neck feels great and set through makes a big difference (coming from a bolt on). Considering the body wood, neck, feel, and playability this is one great guitar! I also love the jumbo frets, you can shred with ease...

Very recommended and considering all above and the price this is one great deal.
