Solid Guitar
WarL1ghT 26.05.2019
I've bought this guitar because i needed a solid and good sounding axe to play with the band . And i've got to say , i'm not dissapointed at all , i'm actually very impressed

Pros:
- The Finish is incredible , it feels so good and you can sense the work that has been put into the instrument
- The Pickups are great , the output that they have is really good to play aggresive and punchy stuff , you can really work with the sound that this guitar offers . Me and my band are kind of a Heavy-Groovy Metal so if you're looking for a guitar to play similar stuff , this might be your way to go .
- The look of the guitar is awesome , really , It's a single cut with a matte finish and amazing decals on it , can't have anything against that

Cons:
- As you'd expect a Les Paul guitar to be , it's a bit heavy , not too bad though , so don't worry thinking it's weighting like a tank , but it's just a bit heavier than your regular standard style guitar
- I find that it's going out of tune regularly , i can't say if it's the lock-in tuners , or maybe i should've tighten the screws of the tuning keys tighter , i can't tell why is that , but it's not a tragedy considering it's not a floyd rose guitar neither a guitar with EverTune Bridge to stay in tune really really good , so i can't say it's a horrible thing at all .

Overall :
This is a solid choice , you're getting awesome sound for an aggresive and metalish type of play , the look and the finish of the guitar is just marvelous , and the cons are not even things that are impossible to work with . I recommend this guitar to anyone that's looking for a crunchy , punchy and rich metal sound . Combining this with an awesome Head amp and Cab , it will be a beast !

can't go wrong

Great guitar for the price. The wood is pretty good and the guitar has some weight to it, sounds killer with the EMG pickups. Neck is also pretty good and the finish is as smooth as it can be, Definitely one of the best guitars I have ever played. Had some problems with the first one, the neck strap button was loose and fell immediately after using for the first time, but after a couple mails, it was sent back and replaced for another guitar. The return process should be easier for the customer but I still got a partial refund/compensation for the hassle, so it's all good.

Good metal guitar
XavierIEFR 04.05.2021
I use this guitar to play groove metal. Nice sound, not crazy but not bad at all.
The neck is nice to play, thin and useful. Sensation with fingers pushing on strings is good as well. I tried hard-rock as solo from Ac/Dc and I really appreciate the results. Nice vibe, nice sound !

The toggle switch can bring a little of creamy sound, but don't expect to play a Hendrix as the EMG are giving too much output. This disadvantage is an advantage for metal as I need a cold and precise sound, with good bass. The sound is not melting, you can hear all the tunes you try even with lot of saturation. I appreciated it because it obliges me to play more precisely or mistake can be heard.

The volume/tone button are not that great. Volum is really sensitive and for metal as I needed to cancel some frequence but keeping the bite of the EMG, I need to decrease the volume a little. With this guitar, it's almost on/off which is a problem for me.
The tone buttons are useless to my point of view, or my type of playing.

Finally the design is good if you appreciate the gold line. It is more orange than on the picture to be honest.

Great metal guitar!!
Gus93 10.07.2017
I got this guitar for a back up to my ESP Horizon and it hasn't let me down. The sound is huge with tons of headroom, however it is a bit dark and lacks brightness. The quality is great, it feels very comfortable and the only problems were some cosmetic issues with the finish in some parts. It stays in tune well and it is very reliable. I recomend it to anyone that is looking for a LP style guitar and plays metal.

Nice LTD guitar
Boy Herozy 13.08.2013
This cool looking guitar have some great active pickups for heavy sound. Tested on my ENGL Powerball amp, this axe screams like a beast. No regrets.
