this guitar is amazing,my wife got it for me for xmas 2006.i was stunned!put on a set of ernie ball 10-52 strings and it screams!play old school metal/rock/blues anything with a screaming axe basically!in a band called distrainers.co.uk if anyone interested,we are recording a album early 2007 and i will be using this axe so you can hear this beast in action!i use a vox ad120vtx 212 combo with a vc12 floorboard,all i need,its the nuts and its versatile.guitar is not noisy at all,full sound,can carry of most sounds,styles etc-rock and metal- holy shit lucifer designed this himself i think!nothing not to like,its heavy,but not back breaking,upper fret access is easy.no great big heel like ales paul.

been playing on/off for 15 years only seriousally back into it 3 years ago.got a x40 pro,x 50pro,and some cheapie copies,im a washburn man without a doubt now.these guitars are limited to 50 pieces so if it got nicked/lost i would be gutted,devastated.i was looking at a les paul gt,but i could not justify ??2000+ when this guitar is as good,no,better in every way.??670 delivered and vat all in with hard case!!!!!!i have never bothered reviewing any of my guitars here but this has blown me away,i just had to.
