I really like this guitar. I only wish I would have bought it sooner. I can't believe it's not a 1000 model. Surprisingly comfortable and balanced. Pickups are fine. Coil tap is nice. If you are interested in this don't wait for it to go up in price buy it now.

I can honestly say I am impressed by the quality and sound of the EX-200 for its price. While its not the cheapest guitar in the world, for its price you cant go wrong. I was very surprised by the weight. While the guitar is fairly large (Being an explorer style guitar) it weights much less than my other non explorer guitars. The only down side to this is that it has pretty horrible neck dive, but this can be overcome. Sound wise it is fantastic. While this was definitely made to be played with over drive or distortion, it sounds good clean as well. My only complaint would be that I wish it came with Locking tuners and a Tusq nut. My Schecters came with the Tusq nut standard on it for a similar price if not a little less, and they also weight more. All in all this is a great guitar whether you're a beginner or not.

I was looking for something different that my superstrat body styles without a tremolo. And found one of these on FB marketplace. I was so stunned by its playing, its smooth and has an aggressive tone that I love.I was thinking before I bought it I would have to buy new pick ups, even bought a SD black winter for it and I'm not gonna put it in because it sounds fine for the metal I play. Its pretty light for a guitar this size which I like even though I dont play live anymore. To be fair tone is a bit thin but I play lots of thrash metal and can add bass and turn down the treble :P.The 300$ I paid its a steal, not sure I would Pay 600$ New but it is worth it.

Out of the box this thing was already playable. The action was nice and everything. I did change out the string to an 11 Gage because I play in drop C. All in all the pick ups are good in it already. Probably will change them out later but not in a rush. If you're looking for a good metal guitar, look no further then the ex-200
