I got my new blacktop hh with Floyd rose today. I can't believe how fast shipping was it only took one day. I didn't pay to expedite shipping. I have only been playing about 6 months so i'm no expert, but i know what I like. I have played many guitars from top of the line to dirt cheap and this one plays with the best of them.The set up out of the box was very good only a minor tweak here and there. No problems with the guitar it works as advertised. The humbuckers are noiseless but they could use a little more low end punch. I'm used to playing a tele so I probably need to adjust the amp,a line 6 spider if 150 half stack. The fret work is good no sharp edges paint is excellent I can find no blemishes. The action is fast and it plays like it should. I like the fender neck. I would definitely buy another one. Pay as you play is also excellent. It was actually cheaper than buying it cash at the store. Thanks zzounds.
