Looks
Beauty and Beast in one.. everything is made perfectly.. everything is just... METAL.. starting with color, shape, inlays on fretboard and ending with cover of neck-spring hole, covered with coffin.. Also back side of neck is painted black..
Nothing to complain.. its dead sexy..
10/10
Sound
Its made from mahogany wood so the voice of it is really bassy.. but I wanted that so I have that:) And I am satisfied:)
It has HSH combination of EMG-HZ pickups, and is equipped with push-pull button, that can change humbuckers into singles.. Its pretty versatile. My favourite setting for metal rythm is bridge humbucker, for metal leads neck humbucker, for softer music rythm middle/neck on single setting and for leads neck single setting.
I am absoluetely satisfied with its sound... for what I wanted it - metal and sometimes some blues etc.. pure perfection .
9/10
Out of the Box Setup
Everything was perfect with exception of Floyd rose - it went out of tune quite easily, but local "Guitarmaster" (how I call him) has set it up and even lowered the space between frets and string (action is it called?). He said its worth much more then what I paid.. and I agree wholeheartedly
For that FR issue, I give 9/10.
Equipment
Mahogany wood, floyd rose copy (no original. .but for that money.. what you expect? ), HSH pickups EMG-HZ.. For that money.. bargain IMO..
9/10
Ease of Use
Absolute.. it is my first and still only guitar and I dont have reason to change.. it can do everything I want (if my fingers can play it, ofc..). Its action is great, it holds tuning and I can do anything I want with whammy bar..
As beginner guitar for metalhead.. its the best you can get IMO.
10 /10
Extra
You get beer opener and few stickers included for this I am adding extra 1/10 point.
Overall Impression
I am extremely happy with my guitar.. and I can strongly advice it - if you want something versatile and deadly looking.. this is your best friend.
9.5/10
