Features: 9 2000 model, 24 fret, quilt top, vol/tone, h/s/h pickup confiq, maple neck with rosewood and basswood, scuptured strat style body, floyd rose licensed locking tremolo, thin neck with low action. Made in korea Sound: 10 my back ground is 80s hard rock. the guitar has a good solid sound and the pickups aren't noisy at all. somewhat bright sounding. compares well with ibanez Rg series guitars and a lot less expensive. Action, Fit, & Finish: 9 I have the quilted top in purpl. the body is finely sculptured and has one of the most beautiful colors in a guitar i've seen. I made some minor adjustments mostly to suit my taste. The guitar looks like it should cost three times what I paid. The action is low and the floyd rose sitts in a cutout Features: 10 Raven LP Double cutaway copy, Korean mfg. It has one volume and one tone control with 3 position switch, dual humbuckers. The neck is mahogony with the standard luthier joint found on Korean guitars, with a nice tight grained rosewood board and is a set neck. The body is solid mahogony with an archtop. This guitars finish is outstanding. It appears to be a painted dark blue with a low key painted purple flame on the top to set it off, with a clear poly outer coating. It's further set off with gold finished machine heads, bridge, and stop tailpiece. the body has a cream white binding, but oddly, the neck has a very dark brown binding. The white fret dot markers are smaller than I would like, but against the dark binding they do stand out quite well. It is fitted with "no name" tuners, but they feel smooth with a slower rate of twist than other guitars. And they do feature a set nut on the top of the pegboard to hold them tight. Can't really find any fault in this area. This thing has exactly the features I wanted and more. Overall Rating: 10 Simply put, this guitar was an incredible bargain. I originally bought it because I wanted a good solid guitar to drag around with me to save the wear and tear on my others. It has filled the bill and much more. One feature that I really enjoy on this guitar is the way the neck is set. I can get my whole hand above the high E fret before I come in contact with the neck contour or the guitar body. While at first I wondered about it, as it seems to have a very short neck joint, it has been very solid. While at first I wasn't concerned at all about anything happening to it, which is why I originally bought it, I like it so much now that I'm going to get another one just in case something does happen to it.....Go figure.
