The guitar is absolutly a jewel and the high quality components and woods make the sound incredible.
Clean sound is amazing thanks to the possibility to switch 5 pick up positions. When using the middle single coils, it sounds soft and it becomes more compact when moving to the neck single coil.
Distortion is incredibly powerfull, warm and compact thanks to humbucker at the bridge, whereas the single coil at the neck allows warm and clean blues sounds.
The guitar is very versatile and excellent if you whish a modern sound.
The floyde rose is also fantastic and comfortable, and the wammy bar is not rigid and allows a wide excursion of movement.
The action is very comfortable and the neck is fast to play along the whole lenght.
By default the guitar is provided with string gauge 09-42 but of course it is possible to adapt other sizes (i have asked for 09-46 and sounds and action are brilliant).
I can't find anything bad. The only care is for the fretboard since it tends to get darker pretty fast if you don't clean it after you have played.
As said before, the guitar is jewel!

This is a beautiful high quality well crafted guitar!

I bought it as I was already pleased with the Indonesian made, which I still own, and I was expecting a step up that became very obvious since the very first moment I held the US version in my hands.

Immediately you can see and feel that you're holding a high quality instrument.
The difference becomes even more obvious when you start playing...
This guitar comes alive in your hands, the sound is very defined on each pick up position and you can enjoy the classic distorted sound of the bridge while knowing that you can rely on a beautiful round bluesy one or a sparkly clean one in the other positions.

The neck is a bit chunkier than the cheaper sister but still a pleasure to hold, fast and precise.

It needs a proper set up when fresh out of the box, in order to bring it to your liking but nothing that you can't take care of yourself.

Is it worth the money....?

In my opinion yes!

It's a high quality signature guitar, don't let the good craftsmanship of the cheaper sister mislead you...

Totally recommended!!
