Worth every penny! I went with the version with Seymor Duncan mics as I prefer passive electronics. They are very clear sounding but powerful and the ability to split them essentially doubles your sonic palette. Mic splitting does result in small volume loss, so adding a compressor in your signal chain is a good idea. It's the same with pretty much all splittable mic systems, though. This is a very versatile guitar for any genre, although it is clearly marketed mostly for rock/metal crowd.
This is a dream to play. The neck is unsymmetric so it's a bit thinner on the treble side. Satin finish feels nice too. The only small gripe that I have is that the metal parts with golden finish lose their sheen pretty fast and start to look old way before any other part of the guitar.
Highly recommended.
