Okay, for the record, I bought this thing because, hell, I am at a stage in my life I can buy something just because, and being an old 80's hair rocker, it looked coolI also own the expected Les Paul, a Ibanez Jem, and Ibanez RG3, and Ibanez s770 to name a few. Out of the box, the set up was pretty decent, honestly, it was completely playable, but, as I have had proper set ups, I am having ti done anyways. The neck is a little fatter than my Ibanez s, but flat enough its okay.Sound wise, I was planning on putting some JB's in eventually, but quite honestly, I rolled the tone off a little and I was smiling. I have only played it through a Buggera 1990 infinium tube amplifier, I see no reason to change out the pick upsWeight, feels good, not too heavy or light, feels comfortable. Okay, rubber meets the road, how much variety can I play on thisWell, its a given shredder rock, but, a little tone and volume knob adjustment and blues were no issue. Naturally, if going single coil , some volume drop outJust buy this thing, you cant go wrong
