This EX-84 Modern BK is a serious contender for players wanting a modern metal/rock tone on a budget. The active Roswell pickups pack a punch, and the mahogany body gives it a really solid feel. It's a fantastic choice for heavier genres where high gain and sustain are key, and you don't want to spend a fortune.

Frequently Asked Questions
Expect around 6-8 hours of playtime on a standard 9V battery, though this can vary based on volume and tone settings.
The Slim Taper profile is generally comfortable, but the 42mm nut width might feel slightly narrower for those with very large hands compared to some vintage-style necks.
The build quality is surprisingly good for the price point, with solid hardware and a well-fitted neck, though you might find some minor cosmetic imperfections common in this price range.
