I picked up this guitar after trying every brand and type of guitar the world has to offer i had 4000 cash in my pocket at guitar center in Burbank IL. And i took home a schecter C-1+ They don't carry one solitary brand of guitar which is esp BUT they had a KH2 esp kirk hammet sig. in stock w/ emg 81's and all...
I didn't like any other guitar; Besides Thissingle guitar,so i brought it home.I Wouldnt trade it for a original black beauty, goldtop or anything i wanted this and i got it for a measly 500 bucks or so... american.

The look of it would fit into a goth band,a southern rock band or a hardcore metal band beautifully with the flamed maple transparrent black cherry finish.
The "duncan designed" hum pickups bring the best of many different musical worlds to the table with them.
the input jack is nicely placed.
the hardware is all brand name and therefore a good value for the price.
i feel comfortable playing this guitar with anyone and anyone who's planning on joining a band with 8+ years solo practice of multiple variations of style needs to have a flexible unit to bring with him for pop punk, goth or hardcore metal or whatever. And it has more nice sounds on the neck where it counts.

I bought the floor model cuz i tried the guitar off the floor, i liked the guitar off the floor and i didn't want another one so it has a couple scratches i wouldn't recommend that.
Also, the bridge pickup volume pot is scratchy nothing irrepairable though.

Set neck, I wanted neck thru but i don't see why i guess it just sounds cool. I don't miss it.The Neck is great though!
It's got the extra octave fret! i love that. The whole guitar is bound. Very professional like that.
the pickups wobble to the touch but don't make noise when you do or anything so i guess that's ok.
I'd say try it first and check the hardware for problems like the volume knob and the pickups but you can order it if the price is right i guess.


Very sweet axe, I would say it is one of the best guitars in the world but you may disagree. I mean i just think it makes me sound good so i love it but you may play differently and want a guitar that makes bad different sounds than i like.
in that case well you shouldn't go with what i like anyways no matter what but i chose this guitar from every kind of guitar in the world and chose not to have emg's installed because i loved the PU's on this guitar.
