I've had this guitar since August, and I'm very happy with the purchase. It looks absolutely stunning and sounds full and warm — the stock pickups perform quite well to my ear. It's a bit on the heavy side compared to my Ibanez RG, but still very comfortable, especially with a wider strap. The neck feels great, and the stainless steel frets retain their polish exceptionally well. The finish and binding are nearly perfect, and it even comes with strap locks!
That said, my particular instrument did have a few minor flaws. There were small tool marks on the fretboard, which didn't affect playability, but were somewhat unsightly. Thankfully a bit of scraping and sanding between the frets got rid of them. Then, after about six months, the pickup selector started acting up — the neck pickup occasionally has very low output after switching. I imagine the warranty would cover this, but it’s not a big deal for me right now, and it should also be a relatively easy fix.
Overall, I think this guitar offers excellent features for its price and, despite a few minor issues, is an absolute joy to play.
