Looks pretty sweet. I'd say go for it. Seems to have some nice features and for the price it could be worth more than that. Who cares if they are a new brand, if it is made well and plays well. If you get it let us know how it plays. I might like one some day.

I received the gat about an hour ago.
Im still at work so i havnt been able to play with it yet. Im going to need someone from here to walk me though this floyd rose thing. From what i have heard they are good but have no idea how they work. and are these pickups anygood? If i could replace them somehow could i put in EMG's or something. or did i just make myself sound like a complete fucking dick.

in what context do you want to know about the floyd.
e.g changing the strings
higher or lower the action
tuning

all of that sounds great.
ive read u raise the action for a heavier sound?
im going to change the strings to heavier ones.
and tuning is an essental. i just recently got an elec tuner. is it just the same?
infact. Whats so great about a floyd rose? im a noob and i got no idea what it does. haha.

its great because with an ordinary bridge on a guitar
when you push down on the wammy bar 90% of the time the guitar will go
out of tune but with a floyd rose trem this doesent happen because of the locking nut on the neck prevents it from happening.
so its great for if and when you play live thats one less thing to worry about.
also with a floyd rose you can only have the same gauge strings as the ones when you bought the guitar.

that sucks. So i cant make it heavier with the strings. no matter what?!?
whats so great about not being able to do that?
This gat is EXREAMLY lightweight compared to my other one. Is this is good thing or bad thing?

honsetly your better of finding that out your self about the different guage strings.its just what i've heard so find out for definate about the strings.
also a light weight guitar is alot better than one thats weighs like
a fu***n tank.
its a nice guitar i might consider getting one myself

hi k13m
i was told by my friend who is going to get such a smack in the face
if this is wrong.
he said that when you buy a guitar with a floyd he said you have to buy the same gauge thickness strings as the one's that came with the guitar.
when they need to be replaced.
i dont know why that is but he's obviously wrong because your the one with the jackson warrior wr1 that has a floyd on it. and you should know

You can put heavier strings on a floyd then it came with, just add more springs to the back cativity (sp?) or tighten the springs already in there. wouldn't put heavier than .10's on it unless you're tuning to D or C or somthing.
