Extremely versatile - this is no one trick pony. The Evolution pickups are very hot and they can drive any amp to destruction. This gives you a lot of options in backing off the volume to go from clean to crunch to full distortion. The neck Humbucker gives a deep bluesy feel, whilst the middle single coil gives that cutting Strat sound. The bridge humbucker gives a solid yet trebbly sound as you would expect. Combinations of these give this guitar incredible versatility. Played clean, the sound has authority and punch, yet is extremely musical - I could use this guitar for Funk, and even Smooth Jazz.
