"Excellent guitar, Excellent price"

Sound: i would characterize the sound of this guitar as very "balanced", ..it avoids extremes.....something in the middle of a les paul and strat sound .... i really like the sound., ...you can get some variety as you switch from the neck pick up to the bridge pick up, ..or use both, ..also with coil tapping, you can get another variation of sound....it's somewhat versatile. ...most people i know who have played this guitar absolutely love it. Feature: 2 humbuckers, toggle switch for switching between pick up's.. coiltapping, ..so you can use the humbuckers as single coils as well, ... mahoganny body, rosewood fingerboard, ... seymour pickups, ..the factory pickups are decent., ...tuners are great, ..stays in tune very well, ... very light guitar Quality: it looks pretty sturdy, ..haven't had any problems with it so far, in fact, it recently survived a house fire, smoke damage etc, ...but it still plays and works very well......i've had it now for more than a year. .... great finish and fit, ... real beauty to look at, ...i have the black version, ...i want to get another one in the future, ...in white :) ...i would depend on this guitar for live use, ..but it's wise to always have a backup Value: in terms of value,...this gets a 10/10, ...excellent value. ...lot of people are getting it because of that., ...it's a really really good guitar considering the price and the way it plays, ..it would still be worth buying even if it was twice the price, ...i am hard to please when it comes to electric guitars, ...but i really liked this one, especially since i got a good deal on it. The Wow Factor: this is a very very sexy guitar, ..simple, .classy, ..... i have fallen in love with it, .. it's a keeper. Overall: I don't think i will ever give this guitar up, ..it is a very special instrument, ..it realy has something nice about it, ...very balanced in sound, ...so easy to play, ...great intonation, ..no dead spots, ...looks amazing, ....and the price is great, ... all in all, i would say this is probably one of the best, if not THE best guitar out in the market, in this price range, ..and even compared to guitars more than twice it's price, .... get it !

"Highly recommended guitar, sounds and plays very well."

Sound: Despite having Duncan Designed pickups this guitar sounds amazing. Feature: One volume, one tone (w/coil tap) and one 3 way toggle switch, what more can you need. although i think another volume and a 5 way switch would make this even better. also maybe some locking tuners to be super safe but the grover tuners are fantastic and this guitar rarely goes out of tune. Ease of Use: Plays amazingly well, the jumbo frets give you an unreal amount of control over the strings, also accesibility to the upper frets is VERY easy compared to alot of guitars. Quality: The only thing that is "wrong" with this guitar (or at least mine) is where the neck pickup touches the end of the fretboard, this part of the guitar does not have the paint on it. This is VERY difficult to see, even up close, but its still worth a 10. Value: The price on the tag was £499, I haggled down to £399 :). This guitar in my opinion easily sell for around £750. Manufacturer Support: N/A The Wow Factor: Looks amazing, I have the white one. I originally wanted a Hellraiser model because of the "real" EMGs in it, but i played this one in the shop and i took it straight to the checkout. Overall: I would definitely buy another one of these guitars if it was broken or stolen, either that or beat the theif to death with a brick. The coil tap is great for strat type sounds although you dont get that twangy sound like you do from a strat. If this guitar had actual seymour duncans in it would make it perfect (not that the duncan designed ones are bad, they sound great).

Style of Music: Anything guitar based (except for indie)
