"Looks hot, sounds awesome with more frets than normal and a thin neck, also quite light, what more could you want?"

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
I think that if (or when given my clumsy nature) my guitar needs replaced, I'll probably buy the same brand or maybe it's successor, for now I intend to simply rapair or buy upgrades for it.
Sound
Can be used for mellow tones, but much more compatible with aggressive tones, sounds better live than recorded (although this may be due to my recording equipment rather than the guitar itself) Ecellent for solos and backing guitar pieces alike.
Features
With a tone and pickup selector on the guitar, many different sounds are available, the light weight allows the guitar to be played for long periods with ease and the 24 frets allow for more notes than many other guitars.
Ease of Use
The thin neck allows for the chords to be played easily and slides are no problem. The only downside is that the body shape makes it difficult to reach the highest frets.
Quality
The guitar seems to be very hard wearing (considering the abuse mine gets versus the very small damage to it) and is well made.
Value
I believe it's definatley worth the money, it's a great guitar and very cheap.
Manufacturer Support
The company helped me pick the guitar I wanted and threw in a deal with it, they also helped me pick out a hard wearing wah pedal.
The Wow Factor
Looks very aggresive, an obvious metal guitar.

Musical Background:

Amateur with intention to play pro.

Musical Style:

Metal, rock, grunge.
