The finish looks amazing in person, Nice dark ebony fretboard, pickup sounds fantastic and it comes with free straplocks (Dunlop). plays decently out of the box, But with a 15 min setup you can get insanely low action. very fast playing, only reason I have rated 4 stars instead of 5 is in my opinion a Floyd Rose 1000 series should not be on a nearly 1200 euro guitar, it doesn't Flutter or feel like a genuine German Floyd Rose unfortunately (although it does stay in tune amazing). But if you change the Floyd Rose it is a 5 star guitar easily
