Excellent import guitar

MD, 27.07.2019

For a Chinese-made guitar, this is actually very well-made.
Pros:
1. The Floyd Special is better than early Dean ML licensed Floyds.
2. The maple figure (likely a veneer) is very 3D.
3. The pickup combination is excellent!

Cons:
Not a whole lot really. The sound is kind of dark/dull/warm probably because of the trem block. I have an FU Tone trem block upgrade on order to replace it.
You can't feel any sharp fret edges due to the black neck binding, but you can definitely feel the 'waviness' when you run your finger through the neck. It's feels like the wood shrunk a little bit which would have left the frets sticking out a bit had it not been for the binding. I think this caused the 'wavy' feeling of the neck binding. It is not a big deal to me though. I can easily ignore while playing. The guitar is also a little neck-heavy, but not too bad.

Color mismatch

spinalpat, 12.07.2019

I've bought this guitar super excited for the "slime" finish that unfortunately is very different from the pictures, in the case that's more yellow than green, so I returned the order.
The building and sound quality it's great in any way.
