It really feels like I can get a huge processed 80s MR sound and clean right up to a Stratty neck pickup sound with ease. This is my first guitar w/ active pups and I gotta say, I love them. I'm goin to play some more now.

I can't believe how well this thing plays, how good it looks and sounds, and how right it feels in my hands. I'm just getting to know it, since I got it yesterday, but I'm already in love... and my amp needs retubing, so I've only heard it through my Digitech RP500 modeler! I can't wait to hear it through a genuine tube amp...

I'm hoping someday I'll run into a similarly priced one in my preferred color and can buy it and sell the silver one.
Here's one from a gig a couple months ago:

The SL20 pickups (EMG's designed for Steve) are great.....and the guitar is an absolute beast...it is probably only second to the Jimmy Page Les Paul in the quality of an artist model guitar, its that good....plays great, sounds fantastic and feels like a fine woman in your hands...(luke would have a better comment than that hahahah)
Congrats!!
