The look of this guitar is amazing. The wood is curved like has muscle, not flat as most guitars! Not as much as the ESP model, but I found this model more balanced, and the color was the reason I bought it. I think it is the most beautiful guitar I ever seen, and had no flaws from the factory.
The sound is amazing for what was designed, and blends with the mix so well that it's like we have already mixed the track. But is only for hard rock and metal. There is a YouTube video ( there are not many) where someone plays many things with this guitar, which is the same sound I get. Check it.
The split functionality, It is not sound like a single pickup, and the difference is Less output and a some push at specific frequencies. Not very useful.
The knobs are nice, but not the best quality.
The neck of the guitar is the same as that of a similar ESP LTD. The neck is smaller than a Fender or an Ibanez Az but bigger than an Ibanez RG. I guess it will be called medium to thin. Perfect for metal, but not the best for things like the blues.
The tremolo feels OK but not amazing.
Additionally, it is a heavy guitar.
A setup was needed when it arrived and needs re-adjustment when the season changes( summer and winter), so the neck is not very stable to temperature changes like other cheaper guitars e.g. with roasted maple neck .
Frets work was OK, same quality with the ones with 1000 euro. Nothing special.
I will say that it is overpriced instrument. Is not even a deluxe instrument, and I can feel the difference with a similar-priced LTD Deluxe I have. It is not at all bad, just overpriced.
I will say that it is a 1000 euro guitar that costs +500 because beauty comes with a cost too.
