Color is really awesome. Need to be seen in real life. Pictures doesn't make it justice. Mojo of the guitar is incredible and sound is right where it should be for 80's hard rock and metal. Guitar is really versatile in term of sound and can cover jazz style to heavy hard rock. Neck feel is thin but surprisingly easy to play. You will definitely be able to play faster than on a 10' radius neck. Fret ends are okish: 3.5 / 5. Meaning you won't cut yourself, guitar is playable but the fret ends would still required to be rounded for better feel.
Very high quality guitar made in Japan. Highest Quality / Price ratio seen so far. Pickups are totally OK for this price-range. 5-Way pickup-selector-switch contact became loose after the first 200 hours of playing, but this is not a problem to repair or exchange. What a pitty not to ship this quality instrument in a flight-case...
