Love the guitar. First time playing alone at home I thought it sounded fabulous. First time in band practice it sounded pretty bright. Was worried about gig tone but adjusted my amp and pedal settings dialing back treble and upping preamp gain a little and all was great. I was comingfrom an Axis Sport with pretty hot Dimarzio humbuckers. I need alot of versatile tones from thin to thick and ferocious. This gets it done in 'high' fidelity. Looking forward to the future. The sonic clarity, even at higher gain settings is really nice.
