I'll give it an 8/10. I do own the version with the mahogany body and ebony fingerboard and I have to say I like this setup more than the one they have now. It's also made in Korea which for me is an extra plus. Anyways top-notch features (But I didn't really like the kahler, Would've been the best guitar if it actually had floyd...) I'd give it a 7. Kahler gave me a lot of trouble and a 200 euros extra fee.... 7/10 here aswell because after i bought it a year ater I found out that DBZ had its Venom model with practically the same cash give or take and it was a much better model.... It's a nice guitar you get used to its neck very quickly and it's hard to change necks after that. One of the best models out there if you're going for metal and/or Rock-ish sounds. It could play some decent blues aswell but that's as far as it goes.... Tip: Carefull with the Kahler....
