An impressive piece of art.

Very versatile and a very rare guitar, it can do whatever a skilled guitar player wants from it!

Okay

I've got the same model, but in high voltage violet, which is a really bright purple-ish finish. It's an okay guitar, but definitely not as good as any prestige I've ever played.
