Versatile, after all
I loaned this guitar, just to see how does this Floyd Rose thingy work. I still have to work my way around tuning it, but otherwise it sounds very interesting. It is not the guitar to be used solely for metal/heavy types of genre, but certainly not my type of guitar.

Top-notch!
While I don't technically own this amp, I use it with my orchestra. Although it's intended to be used for acoustic guitar only, I have tried it with electric as well, and my-my, does it work! Reverbs and delays are more than enjoyable to use, especially if you have some kind of external pedal already on. Wonderful little amp, with a potential to be used as something much more than just an acoustic amp.

There are two things that are eternal in this world...
And both of them are trials! WinRar and REAPER trial. But for real though, a college student who cannot do much, REAPER has been a blessing for creating various recordings and sounds. It has plenty of options and it suits me just fine.
Version: Cockos REAPER 5

Wonderful!
It looks expensive, but it isn't really... It responds wonderfully to all kinds of genres, I haven't really tried it yet with the effects. It's an all-genre guitar, and it can do wonders if you play around with it. It's really heavy, and hour with it per day will bring you back problems, sooner or later. So, I would suggest sitting down while playing it, unless you don't want your spine shaped like question mark.
EMG HZ pickups in it respond perfectly, on styles like Led Zeppelin, Aerosmith or something like that...it can be brutal, but it can also be gentle. Overall, it is a great guitar I haven't really explored...
EDIT : This guitar is extremely good, it really suits me. The only thing that is the problem are the frets. They aren't done properly, so during bending and playing overall, a string can be stuck underneath the fret. Input jack isn't well done as well, as well as all the wires underneath it. They easily crack and make your guitar impossible to work with an amp, because you have to solder all the wires. However, tuners are rock solid, and guitar is holding tune really well. Well, unless if you break a string...
EDIT2: My main guitar in 2019.
EDIT3: I temporarily retired this guitar because of some issues with the electronics - the neck pickup is dead and there are some issues with the input jack.

That guitar looks like a great guitar for djent. Love the satin finish.

It does look like it indeed, but you can't really djent with it...but, you can do all kinds of heavy metal stuff on it. For example, it's great for tapping!

Oh! This article has suggested to me many new ideas. I will embark on doing it. Hope you can continue to contribute your talents in this area. Thank you.

10 watts is a lot. Really. Even weak solid state watts thru an inefficient little speaker. 10 watts through a pair of celestions is a little better than half the dB of a 30 watt amp through the same pair of celestion speakers... 50 watts is only like 2 to 4 dB less sound pressure than 100, not remotely half as loud as long as the 2 amps are being projected by the same number of speakers and those speakers are equally sensitive and the cabinets are equally efficient.

I mean, I smashed it by accident, and it could not repair furthermore. I still have the headstock and the body. I sold the pickups. They were stock and they were making a lot of noise. I have no idea who the hell'd bought that.
It was a 1991 version, I believe... It got smashed when I turned around and hit the wall by accident. And that's it.
I recently started playing a Yamaha 12-string...

Best Strings
As I firstly played on Fender strings, then D'Addarios, now Dunlops.
Those strings are unbelievable. Surreal. Out of my mind. So good. The only thing that really matters is that they break really fast. But, other than that, I have to give it 5 stars- because I haven't seen any better strings.
