"Amazing Metal Guitar, & Great Sound."

Overall: 4.5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
I will probably use this guitar for metal style music for a very long time, but at one time i hope to change the pickups to EMG 81 & 85 combo. It is a great Buy.
Sound
This is an amazing guitar if you are looking for a metal style guitar. I haven't really tried it for other styles yet, but I'm sure it could do some low blues style too, it just don't fit the apprenticed for that kind of music.
Features
I really like the Pickups but they sound very similar when you change channels, so there is a little less variety, abut they still have great sound.
Ease of Use
It is a medium to light weight guitar for a solid body, and the action on it is fairly easy, but not extremely. Tapping is something that takes a bit of extra practice on this guitar, but other than that it is great
Quality
Very High Quality. It shines like a black sun, well mine does at least, because it is black. The guitar is a 2 piece, but was put together and painted to look like a one piece. Very nice quality for a guitar.
Value
For the price I don't know if you can get a cooler and more functional guitar.
Manufacturer Support
I don't know about this, because I haven't had any problems with it.
The Wow Factor
The sleek wave of the body reminds me of an SG, but has a nicer edge to it, and the color really adds to the appeal.
