Published on 07/27/03 at 15:00I ordered this guitar from the Guitar World in Queensland, Nerang. They charged me $1500 AUD, which means I paid $400 less than the RRP ($1900). Cheerin'...
EVERYTHING. It has all the essentials for a great axe, in my opinion it is the best purchase you can make in this price range. It came with a great action setup and I have experienced no problems with it whatsoever.
NOTHING except that the headstock doesn't seem to like wall guitar stands very much because of it's angled, pointed shape.
See-thru cherry red colour, neck-thru constuction, slim body and a stunning quilted maple top make this guitar look excellant and also feel excellant. The maple neck is wide (extra jumbo 24) and also lengthy (25.5") which is a very nice attribute. The nut locks and black Floyd Rose Licensed locking bridge are awesome, the guitar stays in tune even when you are ripping it to s*** with the tremolo bar; therefore perfect for onstage performance. The EMG-HZ humbuckers sound really nice, and there is a lot of room for tone experimentation with the 5-slot pickup selector. Nice chunky sound with crunch but can also deliver a very subtle, yet pronounced clean.
All in all, the only thing that could possibly make this guitar any better would be to throw in a pair of EMG-81s...however this is an amazing guitar regardless, and I highly recommend it to anyone who wouldn't mind spending some good money on a quality instrument made by a respectable company. ESP rock.
