Yeah I just love it, its sound is very rich and the fret is very smooth too. its in BLACK color.
The only problem I faced was that I had no experience with floating bridges while playing it gets out of tune at times.
I have tightened up the springs on the back, the one pulls the bridge and the problem is 60% gone.  |

if you dont use your tremolo you should block it
thats what i did, my guitar stays in tune a lot longer and has more sustain and is more flexible with different string gauges and tunnings. its the best thing to do if you dont plan on using your trem.
heres a tutorial:
http://www.diyguitarist.com/Guitars/FR-FixedBridge.htm
theres no permenant change and everything is reversable with no damage to the guitar.
i heavily recomend you do that, you will love it, trust me, my guitar currently has 13-56 strings in, it only used to take 10-46 unless i readjust it. i can change my strings from 13-56 to 9-42 without adjusting the springs now i have blocked the bridge. its a lot more convienient

glad to have helped u out. what is ur bridge height. cuz that makes a big differnce in tone. mine is 2/64from the pick-up to string, it's wat i usually record with.somtimes when i dont want such a powerful sound i put it up to 3-4/64 from the pick-up. 2/64 is very hard to get and mesure. cuz usually u'll get buzzing. hope this helps somone |

how do you measure it? just get a good tech? im sure we have good techs, we're the third largest city in america, but their work always sucks. i had to get them to set it up 3 different times for it to get in tune.
they have different grades of that guitar. do you have the highest one. thats the true nice one, the one he uses.

u mesure it with a ruler. on the millimeter side. pick-up height also changes the sound plenty |
