I own a jackson rhoads, epi custom LP, and the kramer striker im not an amazing guitarist but im pretty good i have a zakk wylde style and i know whats good and whats bad and this guitar for the price is good. The pickups have nice sound, gain, and if your gear is setup correctly then itll get good sustain. My only complaint is the floyd is a cheaper version so i got an original floyd put on it NOW ITS A BEAST. I recommend people to buy this, it was my first guitar and i still love it. Its at a reasonable price for people with a low budget...(like me) :/ but it is worth saving up for all in all GREAT GUITAR.

This guitar was purchased by a friend who brought it over to my house. This is the first floyd I have ever played and I have to say my next guitar will have a floyd, no doubt. Their were some issues with the floyd when he first got it, but I took the back plate off and it was pretty much common sence on how to fix it and then it was back to normal. My only complaint about this guitar that I noticed almost immediatley was the pickups. The pickups are super basey and look like they came from a candy store, but just swap them out and you have a good guitar. I once heard from a friend a floyd rose trem was a waste of money, because of how long it takes to tune; that is what made me buy the guitar I have now which has no floyd. This my friends is deceiving. If you have no brain, but can still breathe you can tune a guitar with a floyd. Get a floyd. Get a Kramer. Well worth the money for the setup. This is a good buy!

I love this guitar! I bought it a few weeks ago and it is the best jazz machine I have ever heard! No other guitar can touch this one when it comes to jazz/ fusion.

This is a great guitar. The only problem is that the pickups have to much bass. If you like to play on a high gain setting like me you should have no problem and you wont have to swap pickups. Even though the trem is a Kramer Licensed Floyd Rose it keeps the guitar in tune very well. This guitar also has the thinnest neck I've ever played on, great for shredding. If you like to shred hard rock/heavy metal this is the guitar for the right price. BUY IT!

I have owned this guitar for over a year and a half. It is awesome I have played many guitars and this can hold its ground against other more expensive ones. I switched the pickup with the EVH Frankenstein pup. It sounds amazing. I really recommend this guitar!
