I bought this guitar a week ago. Everything about it is perfect except the bridge pickup. If you play metal, you’ll wanna swap it out for a higher output pick up. Both pickups are low output. The neck pick up sounds awesome for cleans. The finish in photos is amazing. In person it has that incredible “wow” factor. Action out of the box is decent but a new guitar will almost always need a pro set up just because shipping and storage can affect an instrument. This is my first guitar I've owned without a Floyd Rose tremolo. And I have to say the bridge on this guitar is so comfortable. I wish I had tried it out sooner. The guitar is certainly worth the price, but the case could’ve been better. Some of the interior construction was not good. All in all, a great purchase.

I bought this guitar a few months ago and when i was thinking about ordering it i noticed (at the time) that the picture and the description of the guitar didnt match. The description was for different pickups, locking nut, and a whammy bar. Confused, i called up customer service and asked about which one it was, the one pictured or the one described. The lady on the phone told me that there was no way she could find out other than her driving to the warehouse and opening the box (which she wasnt going to do) so i decided on ordering the guitar anyways because i would be happy with either setup.Got the guitar and it was the one pictured not described, but man was i happy with the guitar. This puppy is amazing. Stunning design and colors. The lumenlays inlays up the side of the neck are great. Clear crisp tones with both clean and distortion. It has the thin S style body and compaired to all my other guitar weighs next to nothing. You can play this baby all day and not get worn out. The neck and fretboard feel and play great.You cann definitely tell its a $1400 guitar. The difference between it and my $600 Ibanez is phenomenal. Now for the cons. The PAF pickups are lower output and a little on the quieter side. I have to really crank the amp to keep up with the levels at practice. Also in doing so the guitar does get a decent ammout of feedback when using distortion but throw a noise gate on your line and it takes it right out. Also the imput jack is at a wierd angle so it didnt fit wireless transmitter and i had to go out and get an adapter but that's more in the shape of the transmitter than the actual guitar.All in all this guitar is amazing. If you're thinking about buying its definitely worth it. Ive already had several people compliment on how they loved the look of the guitar. Hopefully this helped and you'll love this guitar as much as i do.
