    It's... Different. The headless-ness throws me off a little bit, but not so much that a bit of playing won't get past that. The action would probably be too high for most people, and there's not a great way to lower it at all because the posts on the bridge aren't adjustable. But I've never been a big shredder so it's not the end of the world for me personally.

    Honestly though, getting a good replacement for the bridge would make it a good deal better, because that's really the weakest part of the kit. The fine tuners aren't great, the saddles are super tall so there's only so far you can lower them, and it just doesn't feel great. I've had the bridge locked the whole time so as a Trem bridge I can't say for sure, but I've seen other people talk about the bridges being awful for it, and just from what I've felt from it, I would definitely suspect they're right.

    Everything else about the guitar though I dig. It's insanely light (even with the bridge), the neck feels good and the semi-hollow nature helps with sustain. So I'm happy with it overall.

    Love the stain work all except the back which is just a tiny bit dark for me but that's a personal thing.
    I KNOW RIGHT?! He just got me again with a surprise Mockingbird kit too, so I guess there's no escape haha

    Thanks!! I do kind of agree with the Purple on the back. If I did it again I'd put a layer of Pink on first as with the neck, but I'll still take it as it is haha

    And if you don't mind I'm gonna pinch that idea with a twist for my next project. I've got some purple thermochromic pigment powder I've been wanting to use but I couldn't think of a background colour. Pink it is.
