Anyone who's a Ghost fan will recognize this beauty as Hagstroms take on the Gibson RD shape, and it's probably the most affordable version of that guitar you can get nowadays. Is it good? Absolutely!
So besides being inspired by the RD, the neck is very much like a les paul, which for a rhythm player like me is awesome. It might not be my 1st choice for a shredder guitar, but even then it would probably do the job just fine.
The nut is cut to absolute perfection! No fret buzz, no intonation issues, neck is set nice and straight and the action is perfect. The pickups are also surprisingly good! I thought about possibly replacing them with some Seymor Duncans or EMGs, but I don't think I'll need to. They sound like they're built for hard rock style riffs, but will also do great on classic, thrash or even death metal. They're pretty saturated by themselves so watch your gain!
As for the drawbacks, while there are few I believe they're worth noting. Firstly, the coil tap does not sound good at all. It introduces a lot of bad noise and and I'd honestly never use it for recording. The tuners arrived a bit inconsistently tightened, so tuning one string was buttery smooth, another one might have taken a bit of force and on a guitar at this price range, I'd expect a bit better.
Overall, great freaking guitar and I would recommend to anyone!
