"Everyone in the store went "WOW" when they saw it....."

(see rating details)
I will definatly wear this product out........
Sound
Excellent all round sound, very crisp and clean but can be overdriven. The choice of pick-ups is excellent - you can play a wide range of styles straight from the guitar with no effects !
Features
Only trouble I found was getting a moulded case to fit !!!!! (I prefer the moulded to the supplied Deluxe Gig bag).
Quality
Extremely well made..........may only critisism is it is a very heavy guitar !
Value
For the money an excellent and different guitar. Looks are astounding with mirror finish pick guard and fittings against the jet Black finish.
Manufacturer Support
Not had any problems.
