If it had an Edge trem, I would have bought one before I got my Baretta....

I'm still trying to decide if it's better with trem or not. I think i like it without it though because it makes it so simple that way. Just pure rock.

add a khaler and it would be a metal beast worthy of Slayer riffage

lmao, you're fooling nobody CJ  - you're going home with that baby.

I'm gasing for a trem axe for mental riffage, seriously considering a Khaler on my Explorer.

Saw this axe in my local, it does look very nice it has to be said, and for someone like me who only needs a pup and a volume knob it's perfect. Just simple rocking goodness!  :D

Not my kind of thing of course, but the simplicity is attractive.  Which is more than can be said about those inlays :| - plain unmarked rosewood (or ebony) would look a lot better.

I played one recently for a mate how hates trying guitars in shops, but trusts my judgment. God knows why I love Les Pauls and he Loves wide flat necks. Anyway thats beside the point.

It's a great playing guitar, I found the pickup to be uber bland though, lacking in character and very over compressed and not in a nice Painkiller/Nailbomb way. buy it stick a nice pickup in it and convert the kill switch to a coilt tab and your onto a winner  :D

Very cool.

I always loved the look of reverse Ibanez headstocks!

To satisfy that craving, I would rather get one of these than a Gilbert signature.

There was a kid playing one when I was in a shop yesterday. If trivium/killswitch is your kinda thing, seemed like it could do it well.

Change the body for alder.
Change the fingerboard for an Ebony or Maple one, with sharktooths.
