Great guitar

Guitar is fantastic, fast playing and awesome. the looks are to die for. Few set up issues out of the box but you don't need to be a genius to fix that. The fastener for the whammy was loose out of the box so i had to remove the floyd and tighten the bolt behind the bridge that connect's to the whammy fastener because it was causing tuning issues. Also had to re-adjust the floyd springs and intonate again after changing strings even though i thought i was buying the same gauge from definitely the same brand. The sustaniac was too low causing it to work poorly in both harmonic modes and not at all in mix mode, also in the off position the gain was set so high that it was the noisiest pickup i've ever heard so i had to trouble shoot that and adjust the screws on the ''motherboard'' in the back to fix it. The action was at a medium 2mm on both the low E and high E so if you like yours lower it's just a matter of lowering with the two allenhead screws on the bridge and adjusting the tension of the springs accordingly. All in all very minor issues that take a few minutes to fix, took me a bit longer since i had to troubleshoot it all. BUT i love the guitar.

Amazing guitar

It truly is an amazing guitar, the sound is awesome, the build quality is pretty solid. However, I did notice is small fabrication mistake.

The nut actually wasn't centred an was sticking out a little bit, it actually hurts a little bit when playing close to it.

But everything else is absolutely amazing.
