Everything has been said! Objectively for the price can we really be better?

UTILIZATION

The handle is nice but very flat and thin without being as much as the Jacksons (which I personally find unbearable).
Access to acute is exemplary (RG form requires) but the lack of sustain on the 3 last box in my opinion makes them unusable.
The shape is well balanced and fairly standart weight.
As stated previously, the floyd is a true m *** e. Could the early years of stay granted and the bar is difficult. After changing the springs for stiffer (and its bright IKEA desk lamps is the same size!) And years of service and setting daily, it stabilizes and I now rule that every six months .
The basic sound is not great, the pickups are Powersound entry level and it feels on.

SOUNDS

I think this guitar is pretty versatile. It depends on what you put him as a micro. Basic in every way you will not sound so much adapt.
For my part I did in the fineness by equipping DiMarzio D2n (which are long gone) which are passive pickups with very high output. So I turned the neck pickup and simpler and I simplified the wiring to prevent magnetic interference and wireline losses. On arrival, most of its light rail but a huge and great accuracy. And there, its a bit cold spring the guitar in a more advantageous condition to play metal of course.
I played on many amps and effects for stage, studio, etc., etc. ... Obviously the sound has much more to do with the original sound but modified this guitar is great.
So without modif: 3
With mods: 8 for the metal
Average: 5

OVERALL OPINION

I use this guitar for 12 years now. So that was the old model was better.
Frankly, I also played on Jackson RR5, Kelly, BC Rich Warlock, Ibanez SA, etc. ... and these models all have a bit more expensive, had no better sound in my RG. She has aged well and has even improved with age.
Obviously it is an entry-not top top. But with patience and changing the microphone, the floyd and fittings we can do things well.
Well not dream, you will never make a high end guitar but it may at its illusions.
Although I have had better guitars since then, I continued to go out occasionally with some nostalgia ...
Short guitar endearing.
A + and good tests
