Just received this guitar from zZounds. What a buy. I play a lot of Alter Bridge, Shinedown type of metal. This guitar handles them with excellence. Really do not see a need to even replace the pickups as with most import guitars. Absolutely clear and crisp and respond brilliantly to pick attack. Solid build quality and beautiful instrument. Bought the Tobacco Burst. Great feeling neck Will suit most any style of music and feels great in your hands.Have had - bought and sold - 15 different guitar looking for the one. this is a keeper and it will get equal playing time with my Gibson LP and Peavey USA Wolfgang.

Musical Background:

Playing 3 years now mostly Classic Rock (AC,DC and such) and Alter Bridge Creed and similar and also a little Buddy Holly.
