I bough this guitar about five years ago, and I have loved it ever since. I purchased the chrome silver edition with a black pick guard on it. The only real performing I've done with it is in the worship band at my church, but it never lets me down. Other than that, I use it to record songs in my basement and play for my own pleasure. I bought the hss edition, and I love having that bridge humbucker for a little extra bite.

I bought this guitar at a Don's Music Land store for about $1000. I had looked at a lot of guitars, but after considering all of them and playing them all, I just loved the way this one felt. It also had a great sound that suits the style of music I like to play (alternative/rock)

One of the biggest things I like about this guitar is the way the neck feels. It feels like it is already broken in, which makes it very easy to play. I've played other guitars in the same price range, but the necks weren't as comfortable to me. I also love the way it sits on my lap, because when I'm recording I prefer to play sitting down..

One of the only cons I've found is that this guitar isn't as loud when it is plugged into a PA system. The other guitar player in the worship band I'm in owns an ESP guitar, and when we both plugged ours in and set them at the same levels on the sound board, his was still way louder than mine.

The quality of construction is great. I have never had a problem with anything breaking or not working.

I love this guitar. I don't plan on ever selling it, or modifying it too much. It is an amazing guitar for a great price.
