"Exellent feel and dirty/clean sound ideal for metal/hard rock speed soloing & riffing"
The best, really a good guitar, great price, it's a Randy Rhoads V shaped! Just buy it now!
Sound
This guitar is simply awesome! Buy it with closed eyes and u'll not be disappointed for sure! Metal and hard rock speed solos and riffs sound great, the neck is very fast with jumbo frets, the action is perfect and you get a feel that surpasses many higher price guitars. The only problem is that you could have troubles playing it sitting down because of the unusual V shape, but when playing standing up it gives u a great feel. The pickups are excellent for the price, if you want more extreme metal sounds i would put there the very good sounding "Live Wire Metal Duncan Humbuckers" which have the best metal sound ever, but i repeat it, the stock pickups are great for clean sounding too. You can find Live Wire Metal Humbuckers here just in case you want to change pickups... oh, EMG's and Di Marzio's could be good choices too!
Features
great neck finishes, with sharkfin inlays and mother pearl stuff really good looking, the shape simply ROCKS!!!
Quality
I give a 10 because this is the most cost-effective guitar ever the floyd rose rocks and the guitar never goes out of tune, even slightly
Value
The most cost-effective guitar ever
Manufacturer Support
Never had problems with this guitar exept for changing strings which is a little… read more problem with the floyd rose tremolo... you tune a string a the other moves from the previous-tuned value, but you just need patience, about 10 minutes for changing one string but it's worth it. Jackson rules!
