It's a 2002 model, made in indonesia. 24 frets, nicely contoured body made of basswood... not unlike an Ibanez Joe Satriani JS series guitar. The paintwork is outstanding, sort of purple/blue speckled. One volume, 5 way pick-up selector and the tone control doubles as a coil tap selector. The pickups are Neck-humbucker, Middle-single coil and bridge-humbucker. The pickups are 'MightyMite'??? Whatever, they certainly do the job. The neck has a nice 'I could play this forever' feel to it. It has locking tuners and a licensed Floyd Rose trem.

This guitar is just so versatile, especially with the coil tap feature, I've played many guitars in the 5 and a half years I've been playing and this guitar can do anything I ask it to... easily.
I use it with a 120w Laney TF300 and a Marshall AVT100. Sounds much better with the Marshall, awesome harmonics and the feedback I can get out of the pickups............

Action, Fit, & Finish : 9
Action could be a little lower, easy enough to do I suppose. Pickups are OK. Cosmetically, this guitar was perfect. Not even the tiniest flaw.... My only grouch was the strings weren't stretched when put on... problem now eliminated.

Reliability/Durability : 10
Man, this guitar can take the abuse and still come back begging for more. No tuning problems, even after heavy whammy abuse... like 2hours constant. Hardware seems OK at the moment. The finish is fantastic.... part of the reason I was attracted to it first. Dropped it twice already... very hard... and whaddaya know, not even a scratch. Built to last I think...I have already usd this without a backup and it hasn't let me down so far. Real dependable.

Never even heard of the company till I bought this. Don't think I will need to deal with them at this rate. and yes it is under warranty.

Overall Rating : 10
I've been playing 5.5 years and my other main squeeze at the moment is my cherished US Fender Telecaster, a world apart from this guitar but nevertheless I can't help but love it. If the X-6 was stolen... I'd go straight out and buy another one, without hesitation may I add. There isn't anything I don't like on this guitar, bar for the fact I gotta take allen keys to every gig. This guitar rocks... go try one and see.

I think it was made in indonesia, I don't know which year. It has 24 frets, dot inlays, basswood body, bolt-on maple neck, and rosewood fretboard. The body has a great design, i've seen nothing like this before(strat style but with stylish curves)! It has a volume knob, a tone knob which also works as a coil tap for making the humbuckers single coils, and a 5 way selector! It has a Humbucker/Single Coil/Humbucker configuration, Mighty Mite pickups (unknown but good enough). It has a great purple finish with some great sparkling shit.
Floyd Rose Licensed patent bridge, locking tuners. The neck is very thin and fast, and doesn't tire you at all! Included were Case, tools, Strap and two cables.

Sound : 10
The sound is the greatest you can find with so little money! It suits my music style great, which is Punk-Rock. I use it with a 15" Marshall Combo Amp, and i also use a marshall Guv'nor. Without any distortion the single coil gives a great clean sound kind of like acoustic style guitar. The neck hum gives a bright sound, and the neck single gives a cleaner version of the full hum sound. The Neck/Middle setting gives a warm clean sound great for playing on frets lower than the 12th. The Bridge Hum gives a dry distorted sound great for light distortions and the bridge single gives a less distorted sound and kind of brighter. The Middle/Bridge setting gives a really dry clean sound. It has a great variety of sounds! You can play any kind of music! Great harmonics too!

Action, Fit, & Finish : 10
The guitar setup was great, the only thing was that the pickups were extremely low, but it is very easy to lift them. No flaws at all.

Reliability/Durability : 10
This guitar can withstand live playing and cannot get out-of-tune (locking tuners). The hardwear seems like it was made for highlander! The finish is thick enough, it takes a real vandal to ruin it! The stap buttons are really big, the strap can't get out-of-place! It gives the impression of a great quality guitar! I might use it without a backup!

Customer Support : No Opinion
I dont know anything about the company!

I've been playing for 2 and a half years, but this is the first electric guitar i owned, i have played with very many though. I love the fact that it was so cheap yet so great to play! My favorite feature is the coil tap! Great variety of sounds! I compared it to an Ibanez RG 270, an Ibanez RG 470, a Jackson PS-2 and a Jackson PS-4! This had the greatest neck of all 5 guitars! It also had the best variety of sounds!

The neck is so thin your hands feel like flying, and it is really comfotrable! Case and Cable included!

Sound : 10
I play Rock music and some 80's punk and metal! It is like this guitar was made for playing from beethovens symphonies to thrash metal! I use a Peavey Blaster 350 and a boss distortion pedal! it sounds great! no noise at all, loud tappings, great harmonics, and great variety of sounds! 9 selections!!! The single coil plays the cleanest sound i've ever heard, the bridge humbucker plays dry and slightly distorted sound and the neck humbucker plays really bright sound! The Variety is great! you can never get bored!

Action, Fit, & Finish : 10
The setup was great, only the pickups were too high, and i had to lower them a bit. no flaws!

Reliability/Durability : 10
I'd certainly use a backup for live, because i just can't count on a 350$ guitar!!!!! but that's just what i do with all guitars! i don't trust anything! the finish is tough enough, the strap hasn't left any mark at all! this guitar might make change my mind about backups on gigs...

Customer Support : No Opinion
never dealt with them, i don't know!

Overall Rating : 10
I've been playing for 3 years and this one is the best i've owned! I've owned a Jackson Stagemaster and a fender mexican strat! if it got stolen i'd buy 2 of them so if it happens again i'll have another one!!!
