Value For Money : Excellent
MODEL made in Korea.
24 cases with repres "Skulls & Bones", 2 EMG-HZ H4 humbuckers.
3 knobs: 2 volumes + 1 tone, slcteur 3 positions (bridge, bridge + neck, neck).
Bolt end fast enough.
Floyd Rose, not terrible, however, compared to that of my Mockingbird ...

UTILIZATION

The neck is thin, flat (ibanez style a bit), very enjoyable to play!
Good ergonomics, to ACCS Acute ais and fast.
Are obtained mainly for the sounds mtal or Hard rock pretty hard, and it easily.
The strings are close to the sleeve, so handy for solos!

SOUNDS

Well with it's OK for all that is metal, hard rock type Metallica, Scorpions, etc. ...
The sound is specific on heavy, but a little cold for my taste (and yes of EMG, but mostly passive, it can be had!)
Finally, for liabilities, including sending the heavy! In clean, medium, maybe it was part of neck pickup or neck + bridge, otherwise it is a little too flashy, a little cold, the limit of "expressionless" in the bridge alone.
I play a Line 6 SpiderValve 212, that's fine, it checks out well, I get good sound, has sent!

OVERALL OPINION

I have since late 2007, c'tait my 2nd guitar. I use it today in my adjuncts Mockingbird ST.
I like it because a heavier sound than on this final, more typ mtal what (not as a signature thundering Kirk Hammett) and Lger more than one, and a sleeve over end.
My advice however may be changing the Floyd Rose is medium, and EMG 81/85 pickups by example.
However, the report qualitprix is good and I would do this choice because a good guitar "base".
