Sound

I have no style.:) I'm playing what i like to play, or someone please me to play. I'm a session musician (Pop-Rock-Blues-Jazz-And Classical Guitar). Never heard before a guitar like this guitar. It can be used for everything. But it still has an own character (not like other all round guitars). I think this is the most important thing in an instrument. Soundin' like that, or sound like that, OHHH! This is blablabla. If you like to have an instrument with SSS pickup configuration and wanna create your own sound without COMPROMISES, than this is the best choice. The best playabilty and sound ever.

Perfect Factory setup. The action was unbelievable, thanks for the 10"-13" conical form fretboard shape. The pickups are a bit overwounded (by my feel). The neck PU sounds like a jazzy humbucker, but it has still the singlecoil character . The Bridge pickup sounds like a PAF, but it is still sounds like a single. So you can roll down a bit the tone pot and still have power to have attack.
It has a simple 2 tone sunburst finish. On stage the black turns into deep red. Wery Nice!!!

Yeah, can be said. The forum (factory own forum) is useable. It is not a classical SERIAL GUITAR. So, if you want to have something, you can have to talk with them.

One thing MUST to say! : I'm playin over 17 years guitar. From 11 years am I a professional musician. I played almost all type of guitars. The guitar is just an instrument. All other things are just in your mind. Until such time as you want only play, or sound like something, or someone, you'll only searching or imatating something or someone. You HAVE to find your own voice!!!
All things i wrote about this guitar is only my opinion, my judgement. I like this guitar and I never will to sell this guitar. I'd buy something other type... :)
