Got myself The Dime-o-Flame. :D

Its plays great, just need to oil the neck and it'll be in great shape. Its a Floyd Rose licensed trem, so if I ever have any mechanical problems with it, I'm just gonna swap it out for an official one. At first it was a bit of a pain trying to tune but I got it there in 10 minutes (tuned to standard, just not in perfect 440.) I tuned it properly this mourning following the video tutoral on a few of the latest GW cd's.

I've been wanting a guitar with a floyd for a while now and this thing is a dream. The neck is a little wider than I'm use to, but it definatly helps with some of the stuff I play. The only thing I have a hard time playing on it is sweeps since I'm not use to it yet.

Its definatly not as well made as my Shecter, but the 800 was worth every penny. I think that the price for the American made and razorbacks are outragous for what your gettin.

Nice axe dude! I've been a dean fan for years.
Blues is easy to play, but hard to feel.

Its not totally different than my Schecter (has a jb in the bridge, 51 in the neck,) but it is a lot more sensitive to harmonics and is more crunchier.

Also, with the low profiled bridge, its a lot easier to do fast, pm, alternate picking (Slayer style and ect.)

I've been doin a lot of dime squeals with it and I must say, I'm gettin good at it. 8/10 times I hit the harmonic perfectly and it just rings out, its got great sustain, especially considering its a set neck (though looks like a neck through.) I just gotta get the 2nd fret harmonic working good and I'll be in good sqealing shape. I'll have to work out the whammy bar fluttering and dems other neat tricks.
