This is the best guitar I've ever owned. Granted, I haven't owned a lot, but I've fallen in love with this thing in a way I have with no other guitar I've ever played.
Sound
I really like this EMG pickup set, it's so versatile. I've been half-tempted to go back and re-record all my old work because of how well this thing sounds. Everything sounds so crisp and clear, even when I drench it in distortion and crank the gain to 11.
Features
I was really fed up with tweaking the Floyd Rose on my old guitar, I'm so glad for a fixed bridge. Tweaked it the day it got here and haven't had to mess with anything since. My only slight complaint is that it's only a 22 fret neck rather than a 24.
Ease of Use
It's so easy to play this thing well, the sweet spot for pinch harmonics is right where my pick falls when I'm palm muting. The neck is very fast, but who knows, I might have just been playing so much that I've improved myself...
Quality
It's very sturdy, the pointy ends make it very easy to tap a wall in my recording room, and it hasn't chipped once. Wish I could say the same for the drywall.
Value
I can't believe the price on this thing. A limited edition guitar with custom graphics, for less than a grand? And it actually sounds as good as it looks? Sign me up again.
Manufacturer Support
Haven't had to contact them yet.
The Wow Factor
Everywhere I take this thing, I get great looks and people asking to play it. Even if it didn't sound this good I'd still buy one. I'll probably never get rid of this.
