"Finally - a guitar with functionality and quality, without the $1,000+ price tag."

Sound:

Great versitility with the push/pull coil tap. Distortion sounds are incredible. Clean tones very good, too.

Feature:

Everything works well. The locking system keeps it in tune regardless of abuse. Slim body is very comfortable, and not too heavy.

Ease of Use:

It plays great, but the volume knob is placed precariously directly under the trem bar, making it very hard to manipulate while you're playing. Also, the pickup selector is right in the path of my hand when strumming. I had to turn it 90 degrees (to a "left-right" instead of "up-down" movement)to keep from changing pickups accidentally while playing.

Quality:

Seems to be made very well.

Manufacturer Support:

No interaction needed.

Value:

Very good for the $$$!

The Wow Factor:

Very attractive design to me - definitely not a cookie-cutter strat or paul copy. I LOVE the headstock!

Overall:

She's a keeper. The only mod I'd like to do is to put in a volume pot with a slower sweep for more expressive swells. Otherwise, a guitar that can almost do it all!
