"Could Be Better"

Overall: 2 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Seeing as how it isn't MY guitar, i would not purchase it. There are plenty of other guitars of far better quality then this for the same price, so in my opinion i would say keep looking. however, it would be a good starting guitar.

Sound
This guitar looks like it would be the ultimate shredding machine, but when i played it i was disappointed..However it also has a lot to deal with the equipment used to project the sound. My brother plays this with a Line 6 SpiderIII, and it sounds...bad..But i'll bring it to the studio and play on a marshall stack and it sounds sweet. So it's a preferance.

Features
This guitar immediatley caught my eye at the music store we have here in okinawa. how could it not? my friends call it the batman guitar. But i think as fart as quality goes, they could have included a neck pickup and a pickup selector, and if not that, at least a tone knob. It seems like they only concentrated on the shock value of the guitar instead of the quality.

Ease of Use
...It's a guitar..

Quality
It's a durable guitar, and is more of a stage guitar, just for show almost..like i said it seems like it was made in the hopes of shock value instead of tone.

Value
I purchased an ibanez for the same price as this guitar and the ibanez was 10 times better. But once again it is a preferance.

My brother has not had to complain about anything with this guitar. He gave me the warlock befor he got this guitar, along with the BC Rich Assasin, and in all honesty i think the Assasin was worth the money more then this was..The good addition for this guitar was the Grover Tuners. But..the guitar itself could have been better.

The Wow Factor
The sex appeal was the main idea of this guitar. And the looks of it is amazing. the headstock is hott. the body is freaking incredible, and you immediatly want to kiss it when you buy it.
