"Only the Finest!"
It is unlikely that another guitar from a different company will be made that can do as much as this for the price. Guitars like this just don't come often enough. It will be a competitor 10 years down the road at least.
Sound
Seymours sound absolutely amazing, so much tone! So much sustain! Flipping this bad boy over to the piezo is where this thing really shines. It is the absolute most realistic piezo sound I've heard. Haven't any experience with the 13-pin system but my friend owns a roland gr-33 guitar synth and external synth pickup and he gets the craziest sounds outta that thing.
Features
Features, features, and more features! Coil tapping gives you so many different tones and sounds its really incredible. I haven't used em' but the locking tuners seem great. Neck action is perfect, course all BM's go through they're New York custom shop and they sand them down nice. Neck is real thin , I prefer it after playing it. Might scare some, but it feels sturdy as can be.
Quality
All comes together wonderfully, although its assembled out of the U.S. going through custom shop makes everything good. Amazing maple tops, look almost 3-D, hate to scratch the finish thoug....ugghh. Might look sweet 'n' pretty but this girls made for the road. Looks like fine china but feels as tough as nails. Hardware feels built to last (course they are Duncans, and it is RMC)
Value… read more
A wee bit too pricy for my liking but hey I just play the game, dont make the rules. With the hefty price tag, though, comes so many loads of features, all of which are top notch (Duncans, piezo 13 PIN!) Worth every penny if you can find every penny.
Manufacturer Support
Dont own it, don't know anyone else with one or anyone who has had to go through they're service department. Brian Moore does custom work so they can't be all that bad to the big spenders. ( But who knows about the rest of us)
The Wow Factor
Looks bad ass and feels like the finer things in life. I love the tobacco sunburt and the maple top.....whew.
