I had this guitar for almost a month so here goes my review. When I first recieved the guitar I looked it over very carefully. I could not find any problems with worksmanship however my biggest gripes with the guitar was it slipped out of tune a lot when I played with the trem and it wasn't fluttering properly. However when I didn't mess with the trem it stayed in tune no problem. As far as pickups go they need to be replaced (unless this is your first guitar and you're just learning). I found my rhythm tone was lacking clarity and punch and my lead tone was lacking overall. The way I figured out it was the pickups was I swapped between this guitar and my customized Ibanez RG that has the same exact woods, just different trem (Original Floyd Rose), different pickups (Dimarzio Breed and Air Norton). The reason I didn't keep this guitar is because of the tuning, lack of flutter, the tuners could be better and the pickups. Other than that the guitar is great and I would recommend it to anyone who could see through those issues. I swapped it for a Schecter Blackjack SLS C-1 FR.
