Hey Rick! I love this thing! I like the new Element neck…bending is easier…
The pickups are amazing and work very well with the FreeWay. The PolyPAF pickups have this open sound…set free from the sort of sound “cap” which limits the openness of other pickups. Where they excel is the allowing the player to get a sharper, discrete bass sound…it is just awesome with the djent stuff…they are awesome for a crunch sound. I like the different feel and sound I get with my chord solos. I have played through my KSR Gemini (which I use for all things metal), my Synergy set up, my Bludotone amps, and the Positive Grid Spark Mini Vai edition. The guitar sounds great through all of these and with multiple switch settings. No having to choose one or two good sounding settings. I have also checked out the pickups through my Little Walter amps, a Carr Sportsman, and the Axe Fx…it interacts well with all of these.
The trem is exactly as expected…smoother and easier to use than a Floyd Rose. Plus it does things that a Floyd-Rose can not.
Thank you very much for allowing me the privilege to experience all the wonderful things that happen when I play these amazing instruments. (Bob Gore)
