This is a phenomenal guitar and I highly recommend it.
Sound
The EMG pickups provide amazing sound whether playing clean tones or distorted riffs. I play it through a Peavey Triple XXX head with a Mesa Boogie 4x12 cab with no effects and it sounds awesome.
Features
The best feature is, by far, the Evertune bridge. It works so well that I rarely have to tune now. It's like black magic.
Ease of Use
The Evertune bridge takes a bit to get used to but, once you do, it's quite simple to use.
Quality
This is a solid guitar. I've played quite a few shows with it and it still looks and sounds brand new.

Musical Style:

Metal, Thrash, Hardcore, Pop-Punk
