This is a custom shop features and build quality guitar for a third of the price because it's made in China. Don't let it put you off, the cut outs, binding, routing, inlays and fret work are perfect. Just as good as my 15 or so 80/90s custom shop guitars and a better price than the 90s Japanese guitars. These newer guitars have better features like the graphite reinforced necks for stability as touring can have drastic temperature changes for the neck/tuning as it's Floyd rose style set up. Stainless frets are hands down better than nickel, bends are so much easier.
Playing it unplugged is as loud as a string through which is a good sign for build quality.
The pickups are hot and clean up well, definitely no need to swap them out.
Why buy used when you can get this level of value. Guitars just don't need to be any better than this, I feel like I'd only be paying for the badge if getting a Japan one or USA. It's one of those guitars you can just look at too so it's hanging on the wall as it's too nice for a case.
Bad points, needs a lower action and strings are horrible. It's not even a problem though is it really, easily adjusted and changed.
