Sound:
Sounds unbelievable. The pickups are perfect for metal. I have it in D standard and it sounds amazing.
Playability:
It plays as good than my 1994 Jackson. The action can't go any lower, and it is factory setup. The neck isn't as thin as old Jackson's, but it is incredibly fast with the satin finish.
Quality:
When the guitar arrived, the ground wire unsoldered from the input jack, and after resoldering, the guitar played fine. Not long after that, the ground wire unsoldered from the volume pot as well. And after resoldering was fine as well. The frets are very smooth as well.
It is a 5 star guitar all round, apart from the wires unsoldering, but solder does that sometimes, and my other Harley Benton has been fine for 3+ years.
