Best value: Excellent
Mine is the EX S520 MG (metallic gray) with black finish sublime,
Wizard-round 3-roomed Saddle + rosewood fingerboard (and a bonus scratch dmoniaque own pop genre has the EX SERIES) there is a white binding on the neck and the head, beautiful e. ..

"I read in the opinion that many people have about rlent original pickups, I never knew mine, I had used up kit with a Seymour Duncan TB5 ( bridge) SH6 (in handle)

-The body is mahogany

A double-locking ZR tremolo (Zero Resistors system) ball bearing, a pearl of innovation

I put 9 / 10 because there is no split for the microphones was originally some think it's a guitar made just for mtal so who cares! Splitt, well I am telling you my mics not even clean sounds!

UTILIZATION

The handle is perfect you can really dfouler level sweep, tapping, legato ...
Access in acute and nickel also, for the sweep on Most recent internship boxes no problem,
the body is mahogany, but rest assured you can not not break it back either! trs is late compared with RG in the same brand, with my kit Seymour Duncan (see above) Splitter REALLY get all the sounds I want, jazz, blues, rock, clean, mtal (heavy, trash, no, speed ...), shred ... MAGR his head to the pe tnbres can tame easily have

on the vibrato, I bought it mainly for a, it is fabulous despite the opinion of the purists ngatifs floyd rose, it does not dsaccorde I also possde jackson with a floyd rose original, not worth the ZR!
despite the innovation of the ZR, I warned you if your a fan of dive bombs and other stunts to floyd, the sock (or the pice is screwed bar) of the vibrato is not really solid, the mine broke ... I quickly found a solution by buying the pice replacement for floyd rose ( https://www.thomann.de/fr/schaller_tremolobar_black_362003.htm ) that fits perfectly, and since it is the luxury! but for default of quality I put 8 because it dcevant instantly

SOUNDS

As you can see the scratch is perfect for me, with a style typical shred-metal, like Children of Bodom, Metallica, Ozzy Osbourne, Pantera, Patrick RONDAT, arch enemy ...

I play a peavey bandit branch 112, the old lamps MODELS simulation of distortion pedals + a metal master, digitech of, and a chorus-delay visual sound H0, so I have an incredible range of sounds

I can not, however, too learn about the original pickups, but it seems they do not have such MRIT violin ...

The sounds I get with it are really perfect, beautiful are clear, are saturated prcis, but once full, it is a great rpondant thanks to the mahogany body!
I put 10/10, but do not advance if you plan to buy new ...

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 6 months for me résumé:
Pros:
-Mahogany body
Trs trs rgonomique-round comfort
Trs trs-body rgonomique comfortable
Soignes-finishes (binding. ..)
Potential sound-standard

ngatifs points:
22-round boxes (just Gnant sometimes ...)
-You need to change the pickups to operate its "sonic potential," but you will not be due
-No split
The sock-vibrato a little too good marchbr />
when a "Zero Resistance Original"? should be more people trying to ZR S teams, as these are vibrato for me above the vibrato blades (type floyd rose)
voila, so I put 9 because it does not have a big big default if you do not overload the tortures floyd ...
