Sounds

All of those features give the guitar what is easily the fullest and fattest tone of all here. Fans of metal and rock rhythms will revel in the glorious breadth and depth of the sound on offer: it’s chug-tastic!

It has a slightly higher action than the others and offers something of an arm-wrestle, especially when bending the high E above the 12th fret.

Still, so good is the sound that it’s well worth it and it doesn’t seem to matter that you have to stand in order to rock here: the sound had us jumping around like kids.
