This guitar shines here ......the standard is a workhorse!!! W/ the 3 way switch and coil taps every sound imagimeable is available! The tone of this monster is just ridiculous!!!! In the neck solos just soar, round fat tones are abundant, and in the bridge you can get some of the heaviest chunk imaginable!!!! Clean and in the middle w/ the coils tapped is a clean dream!!!
I play hard rock/metal and actually play solos!!!! I also play live 3-4 times a week, and teach guitar, I've been playing 12 years...and have played/owned every damn guitar there is...and I must say RR Gadow guitars is my new guitar for the rest of my career!!!! Never has the tone of a guitar pleased my ears this much!!!!!

Action was set super low and w/ no buzzing JUST like I like it!!!! Only prob i had at all w/ this guitar was a loose tone knob.....i got out the old allen wrenches and fixed that in 2 minutes!!
The FEEL of this neck and overall feel of the guitar is PERFECT, man I love this guitar CAN YA TELL???????/
