Can you obtain your preferred action on this guitar, and what is it?: Yes, Very Low How does the neck affect your playing?: Allows me to play faster passages with ease How well does it play compared to any other guitars?: It plays better than most guitars of the marke Does it contain any flaws?: Only 1 Volume and Tone Knob.

I play a lot of metal, rock, blues progressive and alternative on my Westone I through a Ross Fame Edition Amp with my 2 Behringer Stompboxes (BO100 and BO900), my Boss PW10 and my DSound Computerised FX Module although I could use it for many other styles. It has sounds it just depends on the setting on your amp and how you set up the tone and volume and which pick-ups you use. The sound beats all other guitars I have play (With exception of the Westone Pantera). The only thing I would change on it is the putting a locking nut on it. It doesn't make much noise if you leave it connected up with the amp on and it is more of a stage guitar than a studio guitar but is awesome as a studio guitar.

It is super reliable to play stage shows with and spend hours recording in the studio, it really rarely needs adjusted, the hardware, controls are still working like the day it was made I've needed to change the staplocks once in the 15 years I've had it and thats because it got bashed around in trasit a bit and he's had it since 1986. It handles climate change extremely well.
