This guitar sorely needs some reviews on this site so I am giving on. The features are great on this beauty. Three way toggle switch, sperzel tuners which are pretty rock solid, EMG-81's, Tune-o-matic bridge, and two volume knobs and one tone knob. I would actually like to have independant tone knobs for each volume but no big. 24 frets is nice and the abalone inlays are even nicer. Great guitar.

Action was nice and low. Set perfect. No weird noises. Bridge was set just right. No intonation issues at all. No chips in the finish nothing wrong to speak of.

The pickups are active pickups so in time a new battery will be needed which is a hassle but it's just parrt of having active pickups. I have the same deal with my Les Paul Studio. I replaced the strap system with a Dimarzio screw in strap lock system, which is rock solid. This right now is main guitar with my Les Paul Studio being fixed now. I have these two guitars set up exactly the same minus my Les Paul Studio having sperzel tuners. This guitar hasn't shown any fuss as of yet, but have to wait and see. If I was to a play gig somewhere this would be in heavy rotation, but ya always gotta have back guitar. So two guitars are always gonna be in rotation. Great guitar though.

Have yet to deal with them, but I have heard mixed bag of good and bad with them. Hopefully I'll never have to find out.
