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...
Thank you for your feedback. We appreciate your input.
This guitar is a crazy good choice for the price. Literally! Japan build, absolutely amazing clean sound, heavy sound could be slightly better.
If you like to shred, or learn to shred, this is the guitar! The flat neck is crazy confortable when you want to play fast, I just LOVE IT!
All of this for less than 1000 CHF, it's really really good for the money.
And the 80's style with the crazy yellow color! <3
