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

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.

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.

Desirability:
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.

Sound:
Despite having Duncan Designed pickups this guitar sounds amazing.

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.

Support:
N/A

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).

"My God I Love My Guitar.... and so should you"

Feature:
I love the coil tap. the tuners are great. the stock strings are pretty good too.

Quality:
amazing. I have the white one. it is beautiful. The chrome hardware sticks out. Mazing abolone work on it too.

Value:
I could never have asked for bang for my buck. I would easily have paid more for it.

Desirability:
I walked into my local guitar store talking to my friend and i suddenly stopped talking. I was struck by the beauty of this guitar. My jaw dropped and i knew i had to have it. I was short on cash since im going to college so i traded in two other guitars and still paid a little to get it. I still look at it and i am speachless.

Sound:
The versatility is amazing. The coil tap is great for clean sounds. The pickups are semoure duncan's and have decent sound. They sound great when distorted. No buzz ever.

Ease of Use:
I have never played a guitar with such a fast neck. It feels like butter.

Support:
never needed it so i don't know

Overall:
amazing. I love it. I will never get rid of it. It is the first guitar i am truly proud to own. I cant stop showing it off to my friends.
