Amazing guitar, amazing quality, amazing VALUE. Completely worth every penny. The neck is like butter, the satin finish goes perfect with the neck profile. The quilted maple top is beautiful. The mahogany neck and body are perfect weight: not too heavy so it feels like a cinderblock, and not too light so that it feels like a toy. And the woods add amzing tone. All the electronics and components are high end pieces and really top it all off. Find a store that carries this, try it out, and buy it. I promise that you will love it.

I got this guitar last year for Christmas and, after getting it setup, it was incredible. I play this guitar in my youth band and has a great tone for that as well as playing what it was made for, such as death metal/hard rock music. The neck pickup is great for palm muting type stuff. The middle pickup is great for basic rythym and the bridge of course is just a blowout for soloing. I play this through my jekyll and hyde overdrive/distortion pedal. Long story short... BUY THIS GUITAR!!!!

I had been looking at this guitar for quite a while before deciding to buy it, and I was really excited about getting it. My excitement sunk after getting it though. Straight out the box, the headstock was broken. No big deal. I sent it back and it was replaced. For a while, I was in love with this guitar and shunned my beloved Jackson RR3 in favor of it, but my love has dropped greatly. Mainly, I just can't seem to get a good tone out of this guitar. I can get a great tone as far a rythym guitar goes, but I can't get a good lead tone out of it. Every sound is just weak and mushy to me. In addition, it's impossible to access the higher frets on this guitar, which is a huge turn off for me. All in all, now that the initial hype has burned off, I really hate this guitar. Spring for an RR3.

still going strong

I wrote a review for this guitar about a month ago and now I have some more things to say about it now that my ecstasy for getting it has gone down. The EMG's still deliver just as they did when I first got it, fretboard is still as smooth as butter and it's still one of the easiest guitars to play on I've ever played, but the problems I'm starting to get with it are large amounts of fret buzz and not keeping tune. I'll start with the fret buzz: I like to play in deep tunings like C or Drop B and I like my action low but this guitar becomes extremely buzzy everywhere on the fretboard once you lower the action too much. I don't know if this is because my strings aren't heavy enough (I use Ernie Ball Power Slinkies) or the action's just too low, but either way it's a problem. And secondly, the guitar not keeping tune: When I do tune to C standard or the like the top 3 strings have major problems keeping tune, and I can't seem to figure out why. Maybe I'm just doing something wrong, don't get me wrong it's still a really great guitar and everything and I'm sure you won't regret getting it if you want to, but if I could choose again I probably would've chosen an ESP LTD V-500, same price and it's made by the ESP company which means much higher quality and overall playability.
