This has been an amazing guitar this far. The only complaint I could really pose is that the slime green paint job did have a small chip missing and I believe some of the soldering might have been a bit spotty with the pick installation, as I get some static and from time to time may cut out when selecting different pickups (which won't be a big deal if you're going to change the pickups anyway). Otherwise, phenomenal guitar. This is the first guitar that I've have that has an alinco pickup in the bridge vs a ceramic, which definitely has a warmer tone but I feel lacks some of the clarity that, for an example an EMG 81-7, might have. Though this is just speculation on preference. The action is set well. Comes stock with Dunlop strap locks. Love the extended 26.5 scale, the extra inch makes a big difference if you plan on dropping the tuning lower then the standard tuning it comes in. My advice with this guitar, change out the pickups for some Bare Knuckle Pickups (Blackhawks/Juggernauts/Aftermaths) or some Lace Pickups (Deathbar/X-Bar).
