The build quality is appalling compared to its price range. The flight case comes with the guitar but it requires above all a quality guitar. I am disappointed at this level compared to other guitars (including BC Rich, for example).
As against what a pleasure to find a myth, the Iceman, who inspired many fans of Kiss particular (including Daron Malakian from SOAD).

UTILIZATION

The handle is very comfortable and facilitates rapid phrases. The balance of the guitar is excellent despite the form. Access to acute is simple (using the form ...). The guitar is rather light on the shoulders but not easy to play sitting (we doubt it).
No matter it is a pleasure to play on this guitar original and accessible. This is one of my favorites to play.

SOUNDS

Sound: For my part I like the humbucker pair of AH 1 and 2. Versatility of sounds, but still a preference for heavy sounds. The build quality is poor but the heaviness and the definition of sound on one channel saturated quickly erase that disappointment. Sounds clear invitation to play something other than metal: blues and rock welcome. With a good distortion is clearly fit into the metal and not worry about playing SOAD (although Malakian does not use Seymour Duncan pickups but I think).

OVERALL OPINION

I like its original form and distinguished, I hate the build quality unworthy of her. Next sounds I'm seduced. So do not let the poor quality of manufacturing: Once plugged in it is forgotten.
A guitar with a big flaw, but a lot of charm: let yourself be seduced.
