Overall 10 Reviewer's Background Hobbyst, hopeing foe career Quality 10 Reviewer's Play Style Mainly metal Value 10 I bought this guitar two years ago. I had no idea of the type of guitar I had in my hands, but I was extremely lucky!! The neck is the easyest I'v ever played. The noiseless pickups make a great sound in clean mode, and the distorsion is absolutely strong. I play metal music, and this guitar has never failed.

Trust me, the versatility, the sound, tone, pickups...everything makes this guitar one of the best guitar ever!
