This machine has everything you need, strong tones, perfect playability, comfort playing standing up, a bit of fuss sitting down, but that's with all flying v type of guitars. Also, this is a guitar you want to look cool and play metal with, that is something you do standing up anyways.
It's just a joy to play, the hand glides like a dream on the neck, the frets are a little smaller than on my other guitar (cheap Ibanez GIO grg121dx), Wich is perfect for my a bit shorter fingers.
The Seymour Duncan pickups are high output great for hard rock and metal, and they bring new life in my amp .
One if the best features is that is a breeze to play it, bends are like butter. Bending is as easy as sliding if not easier.
The cons are that it should have been a 24 frets guitar, especially that the shape is not perfect for the 21 and 22 frets acces.
I'm not a fan of the pickup selector, seems kind of flimsy, it does not step up to rest of the guitar quality. I prefer the blade style switches a loooot more.
Also the -1 point at features comes from the guitar not having locking tuners at this price point, that's pretty annoying until the strings wear in.
All in all it's a beautiful guitar, it plays beautifully, it makes you a better player, and sounds absolutely monster.
If you consider it, just buy it, you'll love it.
