it was a 2500$ guitar, bought it for 2000, not bad of a deal, at first i bought a store show model, but was not too happy with the condition it was in after i took it home and closely examined it under special lighting, so i brought it back and they transfered another one to guitar center, and took it home.

i like the sound of the guitar, its very mellow, almost jazzy. i love the look of this guitar, i got a transparant whale blue finish, it looks magnificent under flourecent lights. the best part about the guitar is its tone, and the weight of it compared to a les paul. the guitar stays in tune almost perfectly.

i was not very fond of the neck, the neck is too skinny for some of the different vigorous ways i play my guitar, like heavy thrash and such.

the guitar is very well made, the finish is great. but i felt that the frets going have been better, maybe its just my guitar.

go check it out. its tone can be matched up with a les paul. yet, the playability cannot be compared to a les paul custom
