Pre ordered this guitar and it was everything I expected it to be. Plays great. Sounds great. Looks incredible! The Dimarzio Dark Matter PUPs are really versatile for any tone you dial in. The neck is smooth as butter and almost plays itself. The only reason I gave this guitar a 4.5 rating and not a perfect 5 was for the Edge II Tremelo used on it. The one with the tension knob that I have on my S770PB is a lot more precise and allows you to drop D tune without having to tune any other string.
