Ridiculous!

Sure, it looks wicked but it's uncomfortable to play. I had trouble stringing and holding this guitar all the time, it digs into your ribs and leg but points out too far if you're stood up. The pickups are nice, paired with lighter gauge strings. I wouldn't play it clean, definitely needs some crunch adding to sound good.

Great bang around guitar

Swapped the neck on it for a neck with the 6 In Line headstock and diamond fret inlays. Looks and feel better. Wouldnt recommend it to serious/proficient players.
