The sound of this guitar suits my hard rock and metal styles without a doubt.I use a Behringer Vintager 110 Amp Modeling Amplifier.On the the Mesa/Boogie setting it gets that 80's Hair Metal sound.Once I played this guitar using that setting I thought I was back in 1985.The guitar is not noisy at all.The guitar's sound is very rich and full sounding.It has a bright sound to it.The sound really cuts through.This guitar gets sounds you would expect from it.Loud and powerful.An ideal metal guitar.I have no dislikes about this guitar. It is everthing I dreamed it would be when I ordered it.

The guitar was set-up perfectly to my preference. The action was low and fast with no fret buzz.Pickup was adjusted appropriately.This guitar did not feature one flaw.The "Rising Sun" graphic was flawless, as well as the paint.The birdseye neck was amazing.This is the most flawless built guitar I have ever seen or played.

I think this guitar will withstand live playing.I believe the hardware will last. With a Floyd Rose over time you will have wear and tear on the tremolo unit,nut locks, and the springs.I think the finsh will last a lifetime.Strap buttons are solid.I belive you can depend on this guitar.I would never gig without a backup, especially when using a floyd Rose tremolo guitar. One string breaks and your your out of luck. Always have a backup.

I kept in close contact with Wayne Guitars over the period of months when they were building my Oz Fox guitar.I personally talked to the gentleman, and I mean gentleman that built my guitar.He answered all my questions regarding the guitar.I would call with questions on the guitar's progress, and he always got back to me.Just Super Customer Support.I have never needed the guitar repaired.The warranty is a limited lifetime warranty.I am totally satisfied.

I have been playing guitar for 15 years.Other gear I own consists of: Gold Peavey Wolfgang Special, 1961 Re-Issue Gibson SG, Cort G260,Ebony Orville (Gibson Japan) Les Paul Standard.My amp is a 30 watt Behringer Vintager 110 Amp Modeler.I hope one day to own a bigger rig, but the Behringer does the job.I Love the whole concept of this guitar.My favorite feature is the neck. The neck is so comfortable and fast.The graphics, and the sound (of course) of the guitar are impressive as well.I also love the fact that I own and play the same model guitar of an inspirational person, and amazing guitarist, of whom I have personally met, shook hands, and made conversation with.I really didnt compare it to other guitars, because it is in a class of it's own.Being an Oz Fox and Stryper fan I just knew I would love this guitar.Oz Fox is no doubt one of my favorite guitarists of all time.I am very blessed and fortunate to own this incredible guitar.If this guitar was lost or stolen,I would be heartbroken, but I would buy another one.
