First of all, I wanted a guitar with a similar philosophy to my beloved P bass. Plug in and play. After a quick setup, the guitar was ready to go. Not heavy. Neck is comfortable without being too thin. No construction flaws. Killer looks. Plugged in and tried a few presets on my L6 HX Stomp. High gain was just ok but as soon as I switched to Crunch I was blown away. Overall a very worthy buy if you are willing to set it up correctly plus it looks and sounds awesome!
