Published on 11/13/04 at 15:00I bought this guitar from good vibrations. i needed an agressive to satisfy the metal-head in me guitar and i hated my Epiphone les paul gothic. I got this guitar 2nd hand for $1500.
I own an Ibanez s series and it is mellow. mellow looking, mellow tone. this guitar is the polar opposite. it looks like the spawn of satan and has a sound to match. the floyd rose tremolo unit is great, and the low action is perfect for spewing death metal riffs. it has screaming highs and growling lows (thanks to the EMG pickups its loaded with) and pinch harmonics are a dream to execute.
Never ever attempt to play mellow music on this guitar. its would be like getting satan to go to church. un-distorted, the sound is just above average. distorted however, it excells.
There is no pickguard, so if you arent careful you may scratch the paint. the black colour shows fingerprints easily. aside from this the guitar is so sturdy you could knock an elephant out with it.
Bottom line, this is the perfect metal guitar. divebombs, tapping, palm muting. the guitar practically does them for you. If you are a die hard fixed bridge fan, get a gibson, otherwise, this is all you really need.
