This is no doubt one of the best guitars I now own and I own eight. My seven string Matt Heafy Epiphone Les Paul and my Fender Strat were at the top and this now sits right beside them. The quality of this thing is great. The neck joint is also very impressive on this thing. My only complaint is the neck pickup. I am not a fan of the EMG 60 pickup. That is just me and I new this going into the purchase. I personally prefer the EMG 85 neck pickup. Again, this is personal preference and I knew this going into the purchase. Why was I ok with this? The 60 is still a quality pickup and at this price point this is an amazing guitar. The body is thinner than my Epiphone Les Paul so the total weight is a bit lighter. Both bodies are made of mahogany and both guitars have an EMG 81 in the bridge but this guitar is a little brighter and the Epiphone has a bit more bass. A lot of people will argue that active pickups (especially EMG) sound the same no matter what guitar they are in. This is not entirely true as I need to adjust my EQ just a little when swapping guitars out. On another note, this was actually set up kind of nice out of the box but I still had to pay another 60 bucks for a setup. Minor things like having the nut shaved needed to be done. My guitar is setup for C# standard tuning/Drop B and this guitar is perfect for it. I foresee myself purchasing this guitar in the Black Cherry stain in the near future. I may also be swapping the 60 for the 85. I am not sure yet because I also love the EMG Het-Set. But that is another $250 vs $100. Anyway, if you are looking for a great guitar out of the box, one that will play great, sounds great, and feels great, this is the guitar. Like I said, I only paid another $60 for a setup and $6 or so for a new pack of strings since I was changing tuning. I am using 12-56 not even slinky strings but the 24p is an aweful string so I had to swap that out. The tension on bottom two strings is a little tight for me so next time I will go with 11-56, maybe the D'Addario NYXL 11-56 set. Bottom line, but this guitar! It is totally worth it!Read full review

Awesome, well balanced guitar. Stays in tune, very fast action. Gotta love the emg active pickups as well. Own way more expensive guitars but this one is my new favorite to play.
