Guitar looks great. I swapped out the pickups with a gold version of the James Hetfield set. Came with a fitted hard case. Couple of issues taking it out of the box though. Some fret buzz from the low E and G string. Issue with the 3 way switch. It kept fading or killing the bridge pickup entirely. Brought the guitar for a professional setup to fix the first problem. Had to resoldier the switch where there was a messy connection that crossed prongs. Sounds pretty good now though and definitely looks sharp. Shreds well with slinky 8 gauge Ernie ball cobalts!

So first off this is a great playing guitar. The fit and finish is excellent this thing looks amazing. Love the satin finish as it's super fast on the back of the neck and resists smudges on the body. Has a perfect weight to it and is nicely balanced. Locking tuners work well and the guitar stays in tune. Emgs are emgs you either love them or hate them i happen to love em. The only issue I have with It and my reason for 4 starts instead of 5 are the frets. They're not sharp and jagged but they could have used some more attention I had to polish them there is glue seepage from glueing them in on quite a few of the frets. For a 900 dollar guitar thought the frets could have been better. Overall awesome guitar though I am happy with my purchase.

After playing for a few weeks despite the fret flaws I described above I'm changing from 4 to 5 stars because this is the best sounding guitar I've played. I've played for a long time and have some very nice guitars. They just don't sound as good as this one.....

Great guitar, needed a proper setup to fix all the buzzing from really low action. After a good setup however, it's one of my favorite guitars in my collection.

This is the best guitar I've ever owned! I was a little nervous having it shipped to my house, but I had no troubles other than a broken string upon arrival. Minimal setup required out of the box. This thing sounds amazing and plays fantastic! For the money, this is a steal.

I did not know that these models are now produced in Indonesia. They were previously made only in Korea. That doesn't necessarily mean its an inferior instrument. I like that there is no longer that ugly writing at the 12th fret.
Pros:
Overall, solid construction. The guitar feels very solid and has a good bit of weight to it, which is what i want from a single cut guitar like this. The pickups are good and after tuning the instrument, it came reasonably set up out of the box. Frets are straight, no dead notes.
Cons:
The fret ends are not as well done as they are on the Korean built models. You can make it comfortable with a little tlc, which I'm okay with but i expected better.
The input jack on this thing is TIGHT. You really have to put force into plugging in and pulling out the cable. I guess i dont have to worry about it coming unplugged unintentionally.

Overall, good guitar for the money. No doubt.
