I had the Gibson exp in natural finish and it was littered with QC issue. I now own the epiphone Mustaine custom and it’s an amazing guitar. Build quality is far better than the Gibson and the silver flake through the black finish really sets it off. Love that Kramer with that green finish🤘🏻.
Yeah, the green Kramer version is definitely the better version of model for the cost. I ended up selling the green one as I was able to score the red Gibson Custom shop model for a great price.
i bought the exact same vanguard 3 weeks ago and i gotta say ive never been so happy with a guitar looks and sound fresh out the box, the tones this beast delivers are next to none !!! i have a baretta with a jb and a 50s epi les paul and they were amazing but had to add with new nut tuners, pickups etc, with this i literally didnt change anything (actually i put witchhat knobs on it but thats just a asthetic thing) , the neck is comfy ebony fretboard is awesome thats the first time i played one... and the grovers are smooth n stay in tune!! it was set up good enough to play out the factory BUT i need to take it to my luthier to lower action and polish the fretboard etc... but usually i have to do it right away, its been 3 weeks and i dont wanna bring it in cause i wanna keep playing it !! hahaha , anyways i highly reccomend this guitar its my first V and now its my favourite metal guitar i have , also plays blues well considering how hot these thrash factors are

Yeah, it is a awesome V. The Dave Mustaine pickups in it really have great tone for metal!
