It's good but not that good
I'd probably just get an original cry baby if i had my time again. It's a bit of a one trick pony and it is VERY Hammet sounding. If you want the hammet wah sound, then this is great for you. I find it too distinct and recognisable as someone else's style.

Workhorse with tons of customisation
Don't use it in front of your amp. Also don't just stick to the preset patches. Build your own! Use it in your effects loop - play with delays, use the tap function in a live scenario so so that delays sync to songs in real time. Super versatile!

Worth the wait
After playing an SE Tremonti for years, I finally took the plunge and purchased a USA Custom 24 in blue matteo. The SE was great to play, but this is on another level. Versatility in tone, action & feel of the neck, clear brilliance from the pickups, locking tuners, 5 way rotary toggle (a volume pot that is your pickup selector) I just want more now! I love this guitar to pieces. I'll surely get another and set it up for my low tuning songs, as switching between tuning can be difficult with the tremolo. I play it through a Blackstar 50 watt valve amp, with a simple pedal board including a Cry Baby, Tube Screamer, Wampler Ego Compression, Boss EQ and a GT6 in my FX Loop for the time and delay effects. It really can play any style. It has awesome sustain. I can't believe i didn't get one sooner.
