You won't get a better sound from any budget package out there. The guitar comes with pretty decent pickups. The amp is great for practicing and sounds alot better than one would think.

The picks that come with it are very thin so I never used them. The strap is ok but I replaced it quickly. The gig bag is pretty decent and fits the SOB perfectly. The cord could be better but functions fine (I replaced mine with a longer and more durable cord). The amp is surprisingly good. It's the best practice amp I've ever used (alot better than my son's Fender practice amp). I wish you could get an SOB with a tremolo though.

It's very playable. When playing in a small room you have to watch the big headstock though. It really sticks out there. I'm using a Zoom GFX-1 processor on the amp without any problems (it gives me some variety until I can afford a larger amp with built in effects).

Mine is over 3 months old now...no problems at all. Some of the hardware needed tightening when I got it but you have that with almost any guitar that gets shipped to you. Good quality overall. This thing really stays in tune.

It's the best value guitar package on the market.

I haven't had to call support. They made it right to begin with so I wouldn't have to call them.

It's a Beast with a 10% smaller body. What's not to want about it? It's awesome and looks good too. Every metalhead should own one.

Great, I had heard some nice guitars before but this is like no other. I thought it would sound okay, but man it rocks. It sounds better than some of the most expensive guitars ive ever played, if you love metal you'll love this guitar.

Your basic features, but one negative is that you can't play like most guitars you have to play it like a flying v. but once you get used to it its one of the easiest ways to play.

Standing up with this guitar is easy as hell, since its got a tail, you can just lay your picking hand on it and never worry about getting hand cramps from positioning your hand and fretting at the same time.

I have beaten the s*&t out of this guitar, and its still chuggin, I smashed a massive chunk out of the tail, the chunks at least 5 inches long, gotilla glued it back hasn't given me any problems since, best part, you cant see it from the front.

Deffinately worth it, like I said I've played 700 doller guitars that sound like crap compared to this.

Haven't needed it, I repair my own s&%t.

beautiful

the sound helps me make my instrument "speak" insome words. it helps me express my feelings through my playing, where-as, with my ibanez guitar (the type will not be named), it cant do that as easily.

i just love the features of this guitar. what can i say? i mean....1: it looks cool. 2: it sounds good. what more can i say?

good quality...last you your lifetime.
