Last year I was looking for months at the purple version of this guitar, saving up money to buy it. But due to the low amount of stock, it wasn't available for a long time. As we were about to record the solos for our new record, I ended up picking the SCAR finish instead. I ordered it, in the hope I would also like this finish, and if not I had the choice to send it back..
From the moment I opened the box, I was completely sold. This finish is absolutely amazing in real life, something I haven't seen before on any instrument.
When I plugging this badboy into a Soldano amp, the amp just started screaming out those never ending epic dive bombs because of the sustainiac pickups. It's just completely wild and makes you want to skip working, skip eating, skip sleeping and just continue playing guitar until you drop dead.
Only sad thing is I'm the drummer in my band, so I can't use this beauty on stage as I'm sure it would rock the roof of the building.
No regrets at all in buying it, only love. I would absolutely recommend this guitar to anyone who wants to have fun with sick ass dive bombs and who enjoys a special, non-standard finish.
