Great guitar! I was hesitant at first because of the vintage size frets and the fact that it is a special (import) model. I love the feel of Med-Jumbo frets but for some reason be-it the Stainless steel wire or the construction of the neck this has been a non-issue, and there was literally no getting use to period. The overall construction of the instrument is rock solid. I have owned some other imports in my some very expensive ones, and was very disappointed in them. I remember back in the 80s when ESP was first starting to be sold in the US back before the LTDs and being wowed over there craftsmanship. Well EVH has done it the wow factor is defiantly there. Let's all hope that they don't go down the same road that other brands have when it comes to the quality of the imports.Lastly but most important, I am very picky about my guitars never thought I was until I found that I had to replace 5 that were stolen from the studio. The attention to detail is fantastic. Defiantly a player's guitar. I am not a huge Eddie fan but do respect his playing and who better to design a guitar! Some people say a new car is a taste of freedom, well I say take this for a test drive, let it inspire and drive you to practice more and more.Stringed instruments are imperfect by nature, I really think this is as close as you can get. Some of us are lucky enough to find a guitar that has a life of its own, I am sure that this guitar will become a trusted friend for the long haul.I never had to use the read more customer support but have delt with Fender in the past and they rock!
