This guitar is stunning, and plays amazingly well. It's super light and comfortable, the sound is crisp and detailed. The cool thing about the MAM, is that you get stainless steel frets, which many more expensive models don't have. I might have been lucky, but the setup was perfect right out of the box. Feels like a headless guitar, without looking like an amputated arm. You will need to get used to the multiscale frets a bit, but after playing around with it for a few hours you won't notice them anymore.
