Sound

I'm in to a pretty broad range of music, but mostly classic rock, progressive rock and metal. I played the guitar thru a Behringer GX212 and a Peavey JSX 212. There is a wide range of sounds with this guitar. For metal riffing, it's just killer. Back off on the overdrive and get a warm, UK rock sound. Go clean with just a hint of overdrive and it had a real rich vintage tone. Lead was amazing, the EMGs are the cherry on top and you get that blistering lead sound with enough edge. Very rich with a lot of variation.
Action, Fit, & Finish

Guitar was in tune when it arrived(nice touch). Action was set just right. Honestly, looking over it now there are no flaws here. This was created with watchful eyes and careful hands on the detail. I'm amazed and totally get it now. It's like an italian sports car.
Reliability/Durability

The guitar feels like a well built piece of wood, wires, and machinery -- no kidding. Aesthetically it is great, but damn it if it don't feel like a real workhorse yet versatile and functional at the same time. This will be my main guitar for some time.

Forum was very helpful for my questions. Shoot, they show you the process and the work involved right on the site. I emailed customer service and was helped on more than a few occasions. I called them too, always got helped promptly. My DBZ came with a Limited Lifetime Warranty.
Overall Rating
:
10
I've been playing for over 20 years. This is hands down one of the coolest guitars I've owned. It's also one of the best values I've gotten for my money. The quality is thru the roof, it plays great, sounds like a mofo, and it's very stylish / sexy. Simply put, I love it! I also love the fact that it was raring to go right out of the box. No upgrades needed here! Thank you DBZ Guitars!
