R-456FR BK Progressive Series : Floyd Rose Tuning Stability

I guess this guitar is some sort of Ibanez imitation or a Budget Super-Strat, and it's really good. The construction is good and there were no defects, it's set up well out of the box.

The main feature is the Floyd Rose Tremelo. This is the 1st I've ever had, and the "word" is that you, like, "never have to tune again!". Well, you do (at least I do), but you almost don't! It's really great: the tuning stability WHEN USING THE TREMELO is there. Incredible. I'm speechless.

The body finish scratches up but that doesn't really bother me.

I'm pretty much a "Harley Benton Bottom Feeder": I have a bunch of their guitars, but mostly under $200, some over.

This one is the "fastest" of all of them. Probably not as fast as an Ibanez (I understand that they have a specially designed neck that's extremely fast) but is fast and easy to play. It's wider than a traditional electric but easy to get used to (I play a Classical Guitar too, so this is ok.) However, I think I'd like it better if it wasn't as thick, something of a "baseball bat" for a neck. Fast though.

The pickups sound ok. They're Humbuckers but "microphonic", so they'll pick up pick and string noise at higher volumes and probably generate too much feedback (I'm a "Low-Watt Busker", so it's fine for me....for now.)

One Tone and One Volume Knob each, I like that just fine.

On how it sounds: add some Overdrive or Distortion Effect and it's a great Metal Guitar for sure, I like it for a lot Heavy or Hard Rock, especially anything that you "whammy".

Surprisingly, at least to my ear, turn off the distortion, play it straight - I like it for Jazz! (Weird.)

Anyway, except for the pick-up noise,

MY FINAL JUDGEMENT IS!!!.....

..Cool man. Dig it.
