zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "AWESOME FOR THE MONEY"

Sound: it sounds great stock, i added the emg 81/85 set and it made a world of difference. definatley worth uprgrading. this guitar is great for metal and hard rock, nice thin neck for shredding! Feature: it is pretty straight forward, nice tuners and bridge, plays well. the stock electronics are a little cheesy with the mid cut switch but i ripped all that out in favor of a set of emgs. otherwise its great for the money. Ease of Use: easy to get a heavy sound from, as well as nice leads. definatley goes good with a boosted tube amp. Quality: overall fit and finish is very good for this price. my frets were a little rough on the edges, but thats no big deal. the only complaint i have with this guitar is that the factory wiring is very sloppy. i know this because i replaced the pickups and all electronics for emg's. Value: this guitar is a great value, buy this and upgrade the electronics and you have the equivelant of a prestige ibanez for a fraction of the cost. Manufacturer Support: i picked 10 because i havent dealt with them, but i imagine there will be no issues with this guitar, well made! The Wow Factor: the thin neck and the red burst with black hardware is what makes it. Overall: i plan on keeping this thing for a long long while, plays very well, sounds awesome with the emg's. if it were lost, stolen, etc. i would buy another.

Style of Music: rock, metal
