This Axe sounds Great!!!! It's Dark and Evocative, and is set up for Goth, Techno, and Metal Sounds.
I use a very Custom Emery-Sound Amp in Class-A, the Lylyth, so it's a Mate to this Custom Axe.
I LOVE my Ed Roman/Abstract Axe. It's my finest Axe ever and my last was a one-of-a-kind Custom Hamer Virtuoso that was amazing but is literally crap next to this Axe in every way!
Sonically, through my Amp, is utterly Awesome!

My Axe was set up and made by the Guys and Gals at Ed Roman Guitars in Las Vegas. Everything was set up to my Order and it's Amazing how it sounds, feels, and looks. Love at first sight and feel.
Top and Back of my Axe are perfectly Bookmatched Quilted Maple. The Finish is Astonishing.
I drop-tune a whole Fifth to "A" and it was perfectly set up and the Harmonics were perfect. I am incredibly Happy and Joyous over this Axe.

My Axe is built like a Tank and yet it's Beautiful and detailed.
The Hardware is Gold and very Fine stuff. The Finish was/is second to none. Ed' place does the Best Finishes in America.
I live with my Axe 24/7.

I have been playing Axe for 33 years.
This Axe took shape as it was built and came out beyond my wildest Dreams. No, I do not work for Ed Roman. I'm being Real on how it was for me, dealing with Ed Roman Guitars in Las Vegas. Awesome. Their Speciality Axes are where to Go if You want one and are willing to have one happen, and they are worth more than You pay. Straight Up.
People criticize Ed Roman because he keeps it Real in the Industry on Axes. So what? Be Real equals the Real Deal.
I can't compare my Lylyth 3DV with any Axe, really. It was/is One in a Million made just for me with its 7/8 size and short scale. I LOVE my new Axe and I'm eternally Grateful for my Signature Axe they did for me. I'm way picky about Axes and because I am a Lfty, I have had to have Custom Axes since the 70's. So I go for the BEst I can get, since I'm going to pay a fortune to get a Southpaw Axe, anyway. I keep things simple. It's just one Pickup and a single Volume knob, because Tone capacitors suck the Tone out of Pickups bad. If You want Your Axe to be pure and raw, get it without those crappy tone-knobs.
