Overall this guitar is going to hold up for years. Although if your just a beginner i wouldn't recommend it because it's hard to put up with, tuning it, the bridge all that. But if you want a bang for your buck, BUY IT. You won't be sorry.

Sound
This guitar is perfect for classic rock, hairmetal, heavy metal etc. It is the best sounding guitar ive ever played (out of a charvel san dimas, epiphone g-400 and ibanez rgs). The only guitar that ive heard play better in my hands is a gibson. Those are not better for hairmetal just classic rock.

Features
Some of the most useful are 1. The floyd rose special. It works so well youd think it was an original. 2. The locking nut. This thing will stay in tune for days. 3. The lh-150 pup. It is surprisingly good and sounds like esp's try at the seymour duncan screamin demon.

Ease of Use
The maple neck w/ maple fretboard is the fastest i've ever played. There aren't tone knobs, so i'd recommend getting a good amp (i got a peavey vypyr-great amp). There is although a volume knob.

Quality
It is made absolutely fantastic. There are no cosmetic blemishes, none of the frets buzz, pretty low action, and the finish is beautiful. I would definately use it in a gig, because of how well it stays in tune although i would suggest bringing a backup for other tunings for it would take a while to put in drop d or even c.

Value… read more
This guitar is well worth $800. And i would've bought it at that price too. You might want to change the pickup, although not necessary because it is pretty high output.

Manufacturer Support
Haven't dealt with them.

The Wow Factor
It is the most beautiful guitar i've ever played. If you are a George Lynch fan, or just a guitar player looking for a blazing rock n roll axe, buy this thing!
