Such a beauty and the coil splitting really opens those pickups.
Looks amazing... sounds better

Visually striking, but the tone ability in this guitar is amazing. The Wilkinson tremolo is tight. If you are accustomed to a Floyd Rose, you will need to adjust your thinking. Neck is very comfortable and provides easy access to the highest frets. This instrument should make any guitarist happy.
Plays great, sounds better

Absolutely amazing guitar. The neck is amazing, it's got a super slick kind of satin finish, it's so smooth and there is no unwanted friction, it's incredible. The xl-jumbo frets feel so good and the fretboard itself not only looks good, but it also feels good. Between the locking tuners, awesome bridge and graph tech nut, the tuning stability is phenomenal.

<br>Not only is this one of the best-looking guitars ever made, it sounds even better. These Diamond 78' pickups sound great. There's a rich warmth that sounds great clean, crunchy and with filthy amounts of gain. Zero muddiness, excellent clarity, very responsive and the coil splitting is great. I'm not a big single coil guy but I do like them at the right time, these sound great split but where they really shine is as humbuckers. Buy this guitar, it can do everything you want it to do, and it will blow you away with how good it is.
Love It.

Great guitar for the price, bridge pickup is surprising good with high gain outputs, and neck pickup the while not the greatest with high gain it really shines with clean tones. Especially when split. It's an amazingly versatile guitar while looking good in the process with the beautiful abalone would for the inlay ebony top. The 5 piece neck is incredibly stable and a joy to play on. All in all this a great piece of gear and equipment/
Best guitar, especially for the money.

Absolutely the best playing guitar I've played in over 30 years as a professional musician. I can't imagine what other brands would charge for this guitar but I'm betting it's in the thousands.

<br>The workmanship and build is solid.

<br>I don't love the pickups. The coil split sounds are great, but the neck humbucker is thinner than I'd like and the bridge is really thin sounding. Probably great for metal, but the clean sounds just aren't my preference.
Great guitar but change the pickups.

Great guitar, crappy pickups. I changed them out for some porter pickups and it brought this guitar life. It seriously is nicer than my last sg and the neck is very comfortable to play on. It also looks amazing.
