I've been searching for a metal guitar that isn't a Super Strat, and this finally delivers in so, so many ways. The wood grain finish looks and feels amazing, and the pickguard brings the whole thing to life. The silver burst looks good in pictures and even better in person.I've had the guitar for all of 2 hours and have already gotten a handful of comments. It just looks amazing, and unique, and it just has a presence to it.The neck feels incredible - it doesn't feel like a 27" baritone - it is easy to play and command, while sounding absolutely insanely huge.The Fishman pickup needs no introduction - the company is incapable of producing a bad product. They make the cleanest and heaviest pickups on the planet, and this single pickup is beyond heavy.The hardware is all very solid, the locking tuners are fantastic, the bridge is great and feels nice to play against. It shipped with literally perfect action and intonation - it feels so good to play right out of the box.You will regret not buying this guitar. It will be a sleeper/iconic guitar in the coming years.
