This beast is a masterwork of form and function: it looks uber-classy and plays very, very well.
The 24 jumbo frets, the roasted maple neck & fretboard, the Floyd Rose, the coil split, the beautiful finish and gold hardware, the reverse headstock (which serves no purpose but just looks cool), and most of all the playability--low action, smooth frets, good access to the upper register--make this not only a shredder's dream, but versatile enough for most rock, jazz, blues, or country styles.
Now, be forewarned: this beauty has a zaftig neck. The specs say a "modern C" profile, but it feels like a chunky C to me, so if you're used to an Ibanez or Jackson, you might go through a familiarization period. But if you've been playing a Strat or a Les Paul, you won't notice much difference.
If you're looking to step up from your first guitar--or step *over* from your second, third, fourth, or whatever guitar--this might well be the vehicle for you. No matter where you want to go musically, this guitar will probably get you there.
