Very high quality instrument. Not cheap, but you get what you pay for.
Straight from the box the action was ok, but I managed to get it really low (1 mm first string, 1,4 mm sixths string, on a 12 fret). Intonation is perfect, didn't need any adjustment (E standard tuning, 10-46 Elixir strings).
Neck pickup is with Sustaniac, that was the main reason to buy this guitar. I had few guitars with Sustaniac before, and had some issues in the past (some notes were not picked up by the magnet, for example), in this one it is fine. Bridge pickup is really hot, high output, but the sound is a bit dull. In general, I don't like the clean sound of this guitar at all, but I guess it is not really designed for clean sound. Distortion is perfect. Sound is clear, could really cut through the mix, well articulated, well defined.
The neck is smooth and fast, the frets are polished really well, the fretboard quality is amazing. It took some time to adjust right hand position to the shape of the body, but after a few days it feels natural (I own other guitars, mostly strat shape, so used to place my right hand a bit different)
In general, for rock and metal it is perfect, for clean and light crunch not so much (to my taste). So, if you looking for versatile instrument - this is not the case. If you're looking for rock/metal beast - this one is for you.

A beast
Holy crap! This guitar is absolutely awesome if you're a metalhead. It looks amazing and the thing has the power of an army unit. It plays itself basically. Perfect for chuggy rhythm bits and leads. Even though I ordered an additional set-up by thomann - out of the box it was not playable. It didn't feel as if a set-up happened at all which is a shame because you pay 75 euros for the service. Action was way too high, the guitar detuned every second, pickup height was insane etc...Lucky enough my local guitar tech fixed everything (for the same price) and when I plugged this beast into my amp, it blew me away. So 5 stars for the guitar and 0 stars for the setup.
