Evh 5150 Deluxe QMT Purple Daze

Shredtastic

First of all this guitar looks and feels stunning. The matt finish is perfect, very comfortable to hold. The guitar plays fast, smooth neck with low action.

There is a nice taper to the volume pot giving lots of tonal possibilities. The volume pot moves very freely and the tone is a little stiffer. Its a really nice combination, easy to tweak the volume and clean things up a little without hitting off the tone. Pushed through an amp with some gain it's a real screamer.

I chose it as it had a great combination of features for the price point. The first guitar I've bought with a kill switch and the novelty has not yet worn off :)

Out of the box the D string is buzzing when played open but nothing a small tweak won't fix.
