Some details

It's a super cool guitar which is really built for metal and shredding. I have the black one with maple fretboard. Sustainiac and EMG just take you over the mountains. This is my most recent guitar and also my first floating bridge Floyd Rose Special too. (Edit: Floyd Rose Special sucks, if you're a modification freak like me, change the Floyd Rose Special to Gotoh 1996t like I did.)
