PROS

  • • Bolt-on maple neck with a comfortable 'D' profile offers easy playability and quick adjustment.
  • • Floyd Rose locking tremolo enables wide vibrato without tuning instability; a genuine value.
  • • Hi-Gain humbuckers deliver a powerful, high-output sound suitable for rock and metal.
CONS
  • • Blackwood fingerboard, while visually appealing, can feel slightly less smooth than rosewood.
  • • Bolt-on neck construction limits sustain compared to set-neck designs; a noticeable difference.
  • • Gig bag is functional but basic; a hard case would offer significantly better protection.

Frequently Asked Questions

It's a functional, entry-level Floyd Rose; expect a bit more friction and slightly less refined action, but it holds tuning well with proper setup.
The 'D' profile is generally comfortable, but it's not as wide as some vintage-style necks; players with very large hands might find it slightly cramped.
While voiced for higher gain, you can dial back the volume and tone controls for usable clean tones, but it's primarily designed for aggressive styles.
