I had this now for about 5 months, and gig almost every weekend. This guitar has really hot pickups, but aren't muddy, surprisingly versatile,and react well to volume roll off. I even play a bit of country on this thing, and it's pretty convincing. The case and strap are nice too, although I wish the straps was a couple if inches longer due my height, and the case, although well made, is white, and starting to get marked up from use Overall, I LOVE this Guitar! I didn't buy it for the certificate of authenticity or poster, I bought it because of all of the upgrades you would normally do to a mid level guitar, Duncan pickups, Grover machine heads, hardshell case, etc. The sweet metallic white paint and strap are just a bonus! The setup was good out if the box, although I had to set the intonation. I will be taking it to a luthier soon for a really good setup, but it's very playable as Is! I love this so much that I'm thinking if buying a second one!

Great guitar except out of the box mine was unplayable it looked has it been played before. The frets were so sharp on both sides of neck I mean sharp to the point of playing it for less than 10 min cut two of my fingers. I was going to return but they were sold out so I went ahead and got it fixed cost me 70 bucks but I do really like this guitar after it was fixed. It's awesome there a few flaws on neck binding and neck was out of whack also so after getting frets fixed and neck adjusted so it was playable it rocks now and love playing this guitar I would of returned it for same one because the frets were really bad and a few flaws on binding on neck. But overall great guitar and love it now. Plays has good has some of my American Gibsons and other high end guitars.
