this is a good choice. im not saying this bec. i own one but from my experience - this guitar is very versatile. you can play almost all sorts of music - from rock to whatever. the guitar came with a low setup when i first got it and the pickups, although they sound fairly ok to me - im still planning or replacing them with dimarzios or duncans.
ive never had any problems with the guitar yet - the only thing that concerns me as of the momment is the guitar's finish. you really have to take extra care when handling this guitar if you dont want to have a lot of scratches and or ding's on it. btw, i got mine for less than 7k - brand new! from where? hehehe... secret!
