This Guitar is a great 8 string guitar, quite frankly at any level.
The next is super smooth, fast and feels great.
The finish on the body is also beautiful, and holds up well.
The pickups are good, I would however recommend switching them out if you Are playing professionally or recording professional, such as I.
I have some bare knuckle ordered, but that of course is just for my taste and playing needs. They are great pickups, just offering that next level sound that I need.
Overall, for the price the quality of this guitar is amazing.
