UTILIZATION

The handle is really great ... great slipped and is well in hand. The hoop is excellent and the truss rod is at the bottom of the handle without the need to disassemble or remove the strings (trussrod to Musicman)
The guitar is light really well finished very little to complain about if it is only out of the box D-Tuna was not settled and went down to the table. So I placed a hold on to Dive Only and since this is nirvana.
Volume control (warning TONE is registered but is a VOLUME control!) Is said low friction and allows a swipe of the finger to control the volume without effort, really great.

SOUNDS

Clear sounds are really evolving as long as you play with the volume control and the volume of the amp and you can get a crunch sound quite easily.
In distortion, bah there is simple, it is the best humbucker I know Wolfgang is monstrous (though I know the EMG 81 and 60 and Seymour Duncan). Harmonics fuse almost all alone, the output level is enormous.
D-Tuna toggles between standard tuning in drop D in less than a second.
A treat

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for two months. I took this guitar to replace an Ibanez Herman Li and today it is the one I use the most.
The sound is perfect and is not confined to the metal 80.
The value for money is excellent
FYI a U-tube test where you can see the beast in action:
