Example
Year:2005
Reationship:I own it
Price Paid:$2000
Purchased from:Guitar center
Sound: 8/10 It sounds very well when I crank up the volume and put my distortion pedal on it. It is very quiet when I turn the volume, very little feed back. I was surprised on how well it could play heavy metal, along with a wide range of other types of music. I got it mostly for playing rock and roll but I found it plays other styles such as reggae, metal, soft rock, hard rock, etc.
Durability:10/10 It was very durable, it can last me for years to come with out having any trouble of maintace.
Overall:9/10 I thought overall it was a very well put together guitar, great sound, wide variety of music it could play, just all round a great guitar.
