PROS
- • Okoume body offers a surprisingly resonant, balanced tone.
- • Neck-through construction provides exceptional sustain and access to upper frets.
- • Seymour Duncan Distortions deliver aggressive, high-output modern metal tones.
- • Floyd Rose 1000 series tremolo allows for extreme dive bombs and tuning stability.
CONS
- • The Deep Black finish, while striking, is a fingerprint and scratch magnet.
- • Okoume, while good, isn’t as tonally complex as mahogany, limiting some warmth.
- • The Rhoads shape, while iconic, can be less comfortable for players with shorter arms.
