Accustomed to my Dean 8 String, I was ready to add one more, although I was skeptical over how much control I would have on the C# string, as well as clarity of sound.
The action was perfect out of the box, and right away I was using the full scale and breadth of the neck with ease. If you are used to a 6 string, this neck might be a big jump for you, both physically and mentally. But if you are coming from a 7 or 8 string, I think it will feel quite comfortable and natural.
The sound is fantastic. I got clear tone and clarity on the 9th string running through a Peavey ReValver 4 virtual amp (Herr Demon?) with very low gain; it even sounded good through my Orange Rockerver 100 amp and cabinet - not my usually choice for low-end metal.
The intonation was spot on out of the box.The guitar is surprisingly lightweight, and even feels a bit small. Can't wait to rock out live with this one!

The guitar manual seems to be a one-size-fits-all... not exactly easy to use when I have to find out what parts my particular model does or does not use.
