Comments:
This guitar gives me the right balance for lead work. The 2nd and 4th position is great for acoustic work. The trem bar, if setup correctly, can pull up 5 steps, and can still be pushed down enough to make all the strings slack completely. I play it through my Marshall AVT 2000 275w amp. It can sing like an angel, and growl like a beast. I've never tried it through a Carvin Legacy, but I will one day. It would probably sound incredible!
Quality:
N/A
Comments:
The finish is great. This model is now discontinued, and plus I got it signed by Dr. Steve Vai himself! It's very durable. I pull Steve Vai stunts on it all the time.
Overall:
N/A
Pros:
Durable, great tone, great feel, one of the top guitars in the industry.
Cons:
The only thing I would add (but wouldn't to maintain the original build of the guitar) is a sustainer system.
