Unfortunately that's not really true....i also had a bit of those thoughts about better playing or something...i was terribly surprised when i found out guitar has nothing to do with your playing skills
The only thing that made life better is the awesome tremolo and and overall tuning of the guitar - it almost never looses the tune and the octaves can be perfectly tuned.
Tell me about it!
So how did you like the feel of the guitar? Did you have time to play it?
Ahhhhh .... I was going to post a review last night .... but for some reason I spent the whole night playing my new guitar !!!!
This guitar is a work of art, and it plays like a dream! The tremelo is awesome (never had a decent trem before), the hot pickups give awesome sustain and really boost your legato - the neck pickup gives a deep bluesy rock sound, the middle single coil gives you a cutting strat like rythm .... it palm mutes way better than my Variax(which is its main shortcoming) ... I could go on, but the summary is that it is all I wanted it to be!
And no, I can't really play like Steve Vai or Pavel yet, but not only is this guitar easier and nicer to play, it is also more inspiring, so one day I will be playing like Pavel and Steve Vai
