Feature:
SpeedLoader bridge is a nice idea, but there are problems with it. For one, you have to use Floyd Rose strings and they're of very poor quality. At least half of the sets that I have bought have been rusted, right out of the package. For another, the nut is made out of cheap plastic, and can't be replaced or moved. See my comment about the witness point buzz above.
Quality:
The ends of the frets are too rounded. If you play fast or bend strings, you will continually "fret-off" the high and low "E" stings. The neck is a little narrow, but the too-rounded frets are the big problem.
Value:
MSRP is ridiculously high. Retail "street" price is also too high. Resale value is very low. In fact, it's hard to give these guitars away.
Desirability:
They look pretty good. That's why I bought it in the first place. Big mistake! I should have played it first.
Sound:
Incurable buzz at SpeedLoader bridge saddle witness points. Proper setup doesn't fix this problem. Neither does replacing saddles. Saddles need to be completely redesigned.
Support:
At first they tried to help me, but what are they gonna do, give me my money back? Nope.
Overall:
I've been trying to sell mine for months.
