Rated 4.00 out of 5 10/3/2018

Needed a lot of setup work and some major metal work on the bridge (all of the problems I have read about this guitar while researching on line whether to buy one had to do with strange double notes, the sitar like effect on strings etc). I had the same on the high E and B strings even when not plugged in, but it quickly became apparent that the problems were caused by not enough downward pressure on the saddles, so I filed down the slots where the strings run from the rear of the bridge to increase the break angle and therefore the downward pressure on the saddles and now no weird sounds every string sounds clean and clear. Once this thing is dialled in and it might take a bit of work (not for the inexperienced or feint of heart) it is excellent and a lot of fun especially when paired with a Helix.
