These things look and feel great, however the build quality is crap. First one I got the 3 way switch only worked on two settings and is crackly as heck. Got a replacement and now it's started to do the same so just going to replace the switch. The first one I got was setup quite nicely, however the replacement one argh- the bridge is RATTLEY AS HECK. I got it set up with heavier strings that helped for a bit as he shimmed the neck but it's started rattling again so i'm just going to save up and replace it with a staytrem bridge (which aren't to dear if you live in UK). The whammy is super soft and lovely feeling which is one of the main reasons I got it, takes you down like 3- 4 semitones max but is consistent. Placement of 3 way switch is annoying though as you keep whacking it when moving the bar up/down. Overall ok - get some nice sounds and the single coil is a must have as the humbuckers can be a bit muddy at times. I'd maybe look into getting a the next model up if this is your thing as you're gonna spend money/time fix all the above anyway. I still enjoy it but the faff was...well, a faff. GAK have been great with replacements, though it takes a while. The packaging it quite minimal and the second one I got sent had been opened, however that's not GAKS fault. Could have replaced the replacment but honestly would have just felt bad about the carbon footprint of a rattly bridge.
