This is an awesome guitar! The combination of EMGs 60/81, mahogany body with thin lacquer finish, and a maple neck with an ebony fretboard produces an amazing and unique powerful, warm, clear tone that makes any genre of music sound incredible. The satin finish on the neck, the compound radius fretboard (12" to 16"), and the contoured neck heal make this the easiest/fastest guitar you'll ever play. I got the action down so low that the strings are just barely off the frets...with no buzz! The sustain on this thing is ridiculous: the notes ring out forever. The Strat body with the tummy and arm cuts make it very comfortable to play. Cherry on top: a menacing beautiful matte black finish with squared edges.Warning: make sure you have the budget for it before you try it, 'cause once you do you'll end up buying it.
