Sound: I play Metal (Death / Speed) - After tweaking the action a bit and throwing some heavier strings on this guitar, it really does sound amazing. Feature: Everything you need. Nice pickups, locking trem, and a really nice soft case was included for the guitar. Ease of Use: Action was a little high for me but was able to set it to my comfort level in about 15 minutes. Quality: Fantastic guitar for a fantastic price. I actually prefer this guitar now to the overpriced BC Richs I own and the Gibson I bought =/ Value: Beats any number of the more pricey guitars I own easily. Manufacturer Support: No issues yet, have not had to call them. The Wow Factor: It's got a really nice shape that is surprisingly balanced. Hangs perfectly for play. I like the off-shape style guitars (Beast, Warbeast, etc) Overall: I would buy this again if mine ever dies.

VERIFIED BUYER

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.

Sound: I love this thing. The weight, balance, sound and playability can't be touched for the money. It rocks right out of the box. Tuned it, minor floyd adjustment, straped it on, started cooking. Really doesn't need anything else but a player, playing it. Feature: Comes with whammy bar, covers and a thick soft shell case. Wish it had it's own hard case. Modded a Jackson Rhodes V case. Fits like a glove. Workmanship seems really good. Perfect relief in the neck, even detuned. Ease of Use: It smokes. Stock pickups are good. EMG's will finish the sound. It's neck is a cross between a Gibson and a Jackson. Kind of flat, almost wide, a little round, but, just right for normal fingers. Quality: Top of the line nech-thru / set neck build for bolt-on prices. What else needs to be said? It feels solid enough to play with every night. It's not for newbie's though. You have to know floyds and setups. The ad said it was bleemished. Couldn't find any dings, scraps or other cosmetic problems. Mechanically, it's all good. Value: I've had custom shop Jacksons, Gibson Les Pauls, Strat's and custom Carvins. It's as good and better than most that cost 5 times as much. ZZounds pay out plan is a good idea for spur of the moment buys when there isn't all the cash available. Manufacturer Support: Don't know. Hope I will never need them. The Wow Factor: Deadly weapon is what it is. Brutal. I would buy again. Plus it looks cool. Really metal. I think I'll join a country band and shred some Yngwie on it..... Overall: I want 5 more just like it with EMG 81-85 setups. I have searched and there seem to be no more. Too bad other people won't get to play it. It fills my needs perfectly. I love this thing.

Sound: this is one of the best guitars out there, i have played nearly every quality guitar out there, including numerous les paul custom/standards, tons of fender strats and teles, and many USA paul reed smiths, and this guitar feels/ sounds better than them all Feature: has a nect tru body, 1 volume/ 2 tone, a washburn wonderbar trem, emg pickups, and all for about $1000 that is one of the best deals out there Quality: this guitar is made extremely well, mine has a black finish with red binding around the entire guitar and it looks amazing Value: it is worth tons more than it is priced Manufacturer Support: never neeed it Overall: overall this guitar is amazing if it ever just jot destroyed/ stolen, i would try to find another one (I OWN THE ORIGIONAL ONE FRON THE 80s)
