it's a pretty unique guitar, but a lot of fun to play. The frets are pretty much flat, and its like that across the whole board, so I'm unsure if thats how they were or not...I've been told the Customs were fretless wonders so I'm going to go with that. Surprisingly enough, the flatter frets work well and I find them not to be an issue at all. The mpale on maple just sings, and cuts like a knife, it can be a bit harsh through the AC30, but thats until one figures out how to use the control system. Its actually got an active EQ system in it designed by Moog. So the tone knobs aren't your normal tone knobs, one controls bass, one controls treble, and when the controls are @ 5 the guitar would be similar to how a LP would be with the tone knobs cranked. So once I figured that out its really controllable.
It's like a really angry telecaster more than any Gibson. And its so bloody comfortable to play, it is surprisingly well balanced. and even though it looks long and huge, the case is no longer than my PRS Custom 24.
