Feature:
The guitar came with a whammy bar and few allen keys for the floyd rose.
The LFR is good however an OFR would be way better.
Quality:
Very good. The DXMG is made in Japan(which means the guitar is very dependable.
The volume knob almost fell of the guitar but that's a minor problem.
Value:
This guitar is very good for 500$.
Allthought there might be way better sounding guitars, I think it sounds amazing and it's very good for advanced and intermidate players.
Sound:
The stock EMG pickups sound great and fits my style very well(metal and hard rock)
Even with a crap zoom-30 amp this guitar sounds awesome and I can get very good dist/clean from the guitar.
When I use my AMT-DU HAST distortion pedal it sounds even better and I can get classic metallica/megadeth sound.
This guitar can get very good cleans and I play classic rock(i.e Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin etc) in my school's band and this guitar fits the style very good.
Ease of Use:
It takes time to tune the guitar and learn how to use the FR but it's worth it.
It's very easy to get good sounds out of the EMG's.
The guitar has a fast neck but the bolt-on neck prevents playing smooth over the 19 fret.
Support:
?
Overall:
Overall this guitar is amazing for 500$.
Great sound and quality.
however if someone would want to upgrade the pickups(active emgs), saving up for a DKMG is recommended.

Feature:
no coil tapping but you don't need it has 3-way toggle 2 humbuckers therefore three choices in sounds with a master tone and volume too tweak it.however the tone has to be pretty much maxed out on treble to keep this thing clear on distortion, but like i said it easily but expensivly fixed by getting active emg pickups.
Quality:
My knobs do fall off evrey once in a while but i can be very rough so i donno there,sit down with a guitar twice it's price and then you can appreciate this baby's qualities.
Value:
never had a regret.i paid hard eanred cash but this has to be my least regreted puchas ever.
Desirability:
this thing is sooooooo sexy in person oddly enough when you replace this things pickups to actives they do actually look diffrent i think the hz's are like a plasitc cover while the actives have a re really nice cover that looks similar but just beeter way better i find myself staring at this thing from across the room it creeps me out it looks so good.
Sound:
this baby comes with a thick lush tone but after you realize how mudy it CAN be you should get the emg 81/60 combo it makes this thing absalutly versitile from rediculously clean too they clearest heavy distortion you never even imagined.
Ease of Use:
No learning curve except if your a begginer its not for you for the tremolo needs patience.
Support:
no,proplems
Overall:
only as a tourering professional or an obseased collector would i need another guitar, and in niether case would get rid of it for anything.
