Pretty good
Tim
Good tone, although locking tuners are fragile at best, the 7th and 8th tuners snapped after I tightened them just a little too much. The coating is a little fragile. But its a good guitar overall.
A niche guitar (that can be monstrous if you use it right)

For those who don't know yet, this is a multiscale guitar with a pickup that is not slanted. It is also placed a bit further from the bridge than a standard guitar. With that said, it becomes a niche guitar that you would want for what it offers. It provides a permanent tone that sounds like a hybrid between a bridge and split pickup sound. Some would say they don't like that tone all of the time and it limits possibilities, but if you know exactly what you want, it can be a monstrous weapon. If you are a rhythm player primarily and do a lot of palm muting, this guitar is gonna give you the perfect chug tone. In my experience writing and recording music, I always preferred using the middle position of my pickups when I'm writing a heavy part like a breakdown to get some straight forward and brutal tones, so the tone of this guitar and how it's built is exactly what I'm looking for.
