I love this guitar, I had to intonate the A and high E string but the action was low(and I lowered it more :D )
I get Angus tone by going straight into my amp on the dirt channel, it has great clean sounds as well. The neck pickup sounds incredible clean but can get a bit muddy on overdrive. It is the easiest to play guitar I have played outside a Yamaha SG. The action is very fast. People with giant mits may not care for it though. All in all I think I made a good investment on this one.
