Alex Perez who I feel in my hands and hear with my ears has created an explosive new entry in the new Alternative Reality Series. Thinner with it's body cut, it molds close to the body and gives me a more ergonomic strum and shortens my picking sweep it seems, feels. The first power chord I played kinda struck me in the gut. The midrange is deep and the highs crisp pclean. The 2 pickups chosen totally complement each other. Like to stud lead guitarists that go all out to out power the other. The oiled neck feels like well worn pair of gloves. The tuners keep her in tune just fine. I have an issue with the jack placement.(only cause I dont yet have an angled cord.) The vintrols are placed in easy to access locations. And the neck is well balanced. No dive. PAU FERRO fingerboard beautif. No fret ends sticking out. Well conceived and constructed.

Musical Background:

I've played 6 years. Mostly with friends or at home. Have busked a bit
