So I actually had kept this guitar in cart but later it went out of stock so later purchased it from Amazon. So I had this problem with it; the bridge pickup wasn't properly placed. One of the screw holes in the pickup wasn't proper which led into pickup being titlted inwards. Tech guy near me didn't help out so i fixed it myself. For that, I'm taking one star off, not your Mistake Bajaao haha. Otherwise, the guitar bomb. It does the work. And you must know that it's not for everyone. It's for rock, hard rock, metal stuffs. I did compare the pickups on this with the ones on Ibanez and pickups on this have a bit more tone to it. It's really worth every buck. If you can't go for higher end models, go for ESp LTD F-10 and you won't regret. I've always been a huge fan of ESP and I don't regret this purchase!
