I had to step in . Im sorry but Big tone is meant for jazz and blues . You really cant play distortion with its HH pickup .. I hope you know BB king . This guitar is not meant for distortion and its a insult if you would do that. If you want a all rounder guitar . From harley benton .. that would be either cst -24 or sc 550 or progressive series . These can play blues and rock n metal best in their price range !!
