Great guitar for all types of metal, has great harmonics, amazing clean tone and its really easy to play, has a fine tuner/locking thingy on it, so you don't have to worry about it going out of tune, plus the fine tuning has a wide enough range to go from standard to drop D really quick, has really nice clean tones for all the softer stuff too, in my opinion, its my favorite guitar. EVER. 5/5 --> 10/10, great quality, strings are very close to the neck so you basically touch the guitar and it plays itself. I got mine used for $600 from Larry's Music, retail price on mine was, im pretty sure $1499.99, and its worth it 120%, if it got stolen, i'd buy another in a heartbeat. I am very happy with this guitar, i love everything i have already mentioned, i can't think of anything to hate about it lol.
