Sadly I must let this brilliant guitar go after purchasing a Prestige 8 string. This guitar had been invaluable to me recording 3 albums in my home studio. This guitar is in great condition as only played we home. No one smokes in our home. The pickups have been upgraded Seymour Duncan Pegasus and Sentient which have great attack and substantially more output than thw stock ones. I've been using this in Drop A with Cobalt strings and it roars. The cleans are brilliant or mellow depending on switch position. The lead and rhythm work at high gain is phenomenal. So good. This guitar will not disappoint. Been an absolute joy to play and to own on my part. Any questions please don't hesitate.
