Dean Razorback DB Floyd Electric Guitar  

The locking nut works great and i haven't had problems getting out of tune dispite really playing it in and experimenting with the floyd rose.  the wammy bar feels solid and stays loose so you can crank it up or pull it away from the pickups and go down with it.  the shape is what gets me with this thing.  you can have comfort from a good range of positions.  I typically play standing up and you can have the V on your knee and play more upright or keep the neck horizontal like you see most guitarists.  This guitar is kind of on the large end, so make sure you put one on and feel if you think it's dwarfing you.   volume knobs for each pickup independently are nice and feel good and move solid.

I got this thing out of the box and had no problems with the action and string buzz....it sounded great right after a tune up.  It's my third guitar after a learner and a pawn shop find.  I knew i wanted something a little more durable because at this point i am overplaying the other guitars i had and have not been let down.  pickups sound good....not great..but you're not paying crazy prices here either...i get more noise from the effects pedals than the guitar.

I think this is a great price point for decent equipment.

The case it comes with would be better as a hard case, but it's a solid case for a custom shape which is greatly appreciated as a throw in.  the cables that come with it are on the cheap end and i didn't even bother to try them cause i got the same crap cables from my Dean Bass.  The biggest knock on this thing is probably it's size, but i feel quite comfortable with it and it only takes a few sessions walking around with it before you realize you should be more mindful of it's length.  You can really play this thing in and not have to worry about coming out of tune.  String bends to the max and yanking on the floyd rose doesn't seem to have much impact on it.  the locking nut makes it so you dont' have to worry too much about string gauge either...which is nice if you experiment with heavier gauges.

i got the guitar had to take it and have it fixed right out the gate .the neck was bowed action was way to high the floyd rose bride springs were jacked up .took the shop abought four hours to fix all that and tune . with that said now it rocks the guy at the shop said i should have sent it back . i will not ever buy any guitar from musician"s friend agian or order any guitars online for that matter.  over all i was not inpressed. so think twice before buying.
