This guitar is an amazing value for the price. I bought this guitar because i wanted one with this pickup setting. This lets me change from using the top pickup for metal playing, to the bottom 2 pickups for playing at my church. The jumbo frets make playing a breeze. Everything about this guitar is great, not to mention the looks. Black hardware with white and pearl is a killer. However i must mention that tuning this guitar is quite time consuming. Also changing the gauge of strings is a nightmare. Because of the Tremolo system you have to make a LOT of other adjustments to get it to work. Further, when using a pickup by itself and without distortion i notice defined fuzzyness, if you use two pickups tho it fixes the problem. Back to the tunning issue, once you lock in a pitch and lock down the bridge it stays in tune relatively well, however, i am a bit conscious about the tuning so i find myself doing a decent amount of work often to keep it in tune. If your not looking for the tremolo system like this i recommend getting a fixed bridge guitar to save yourself tuning hassle. All in all this guitar is worth the buck for a guitar player who cant afford a 2k guitar. I love this guitar, it has all the hardware i was looking for and the looks come as a great bonus.
