"The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly"

Feature:
The features left something to be desired as far as quantity. Quality, however, is very present. Though it only has 1 humbucking pick-up, the one it has does sound beautiful. The Floyd Rose with D-Tuna is awesome as well for switching back and forth between songs, or even during a song. I love the maple fretboard and I always try to get maple fretboards on all my guitars. I wish it had a neck pick-up and/or a tone knob.

Quality:
I think that this product is made of great materials. The neck feels great, as does the weight of the guitar. However, the clear coat seems to be fragile. I have had mine for about six months and am VERY careful with it, yet I have found to identical blemishes on the bottom wing. They resemble the effect you get if you hit a plexiglass window with a hammer just light enough to not break the glass. I think the hardware of the guitar will last for years to come, but I fear the clear coat may be short lived.

Value:
The price is a bit high even for a collectors piece such as this. If it had a nekc humbucker and the usual assortment ov volume and tone knobs, it would be much more valuable in my opinion. The guitar costs much more than your average Charvel San Dimas, which is really all this is, except your average San Dimas has to pick-ups.

Desirability:
This guitar has alot of "sex appeal" as you say. but only for a real VH fan and/or collector. If you are not a fan, then this is just an overpriced San Dimas with half the features and a funky paint scheme.

Sound:
I am a HUGE VH fan,especialy the earier DLR era, so naturaly I couldn't wait to buy this(blk/ylw). I rated it an 8 becase though I have not played any guitars that sound as nice, I am sure they exhist. I play through a TSL100 head with 2 Peavey 4x12 cabs. I use the EVH Phase 90, a BOSS Flanger, and the Bad Horsie 2 for Wah. No distortion pedals. I play alot of VH covers at home and alot of heavy metal in the band I am in. This guitar sounds great for both, as it has a cleanly defined sound and tone and a nice bottom end for metal. However, even the best guitar in the world will sound like crap through a crappy rig, so invest your money wisely and get a nice stack.

Overall:
I will probly never get rid of this guitar, but it will not always be my primary Ax. Just remember...BBD. There will always be a Bigger Better Deal.
