How does it suit your music style (and what is that style)? Well I find this guitar awesom and extremely versatile, It sound awesome clean and has great tone, I tried Funk,regggae, Blues on this guitar and was impressed! Distorted it sounds very good (Full) and fluid!
Very colorful when soloing or shredding! Not noisy at all, but sensitive, if your a hack player, this is NOT for you! I am using this on a Soldano HR50+XL, with a Marshall SE-100 Speaker Emulator system and 2 digitech 256XL rackmount units! I am very satisfied with the wide variety of Tone being pulled out of this guitar and I love the sustainer system, once you master using it, you'll get hooked. 
Got it used but store new, unplayed basically! when I was shopping around for this Guitar new stores were asking 3045.00 Canadian plus tax…..which I think they are mental cases! Made in 1998 the earlier ones with the KOA back not the Mahogany one,
Nice Quilt Maple top with Pink finish (Euphoria RED), all Gold Hardware, Quartersawn Maple Neck,Ergonomic Strat type Body not like the full size Bolt on San Dimas guitars made in the 80's, These are handmade in the USA and are very,very expensive. Has a real FLOYD ROSE on it, not the licenced or german models (Schaeller which are great also)! HSC was included.one tone, one intensity knob for the Sustainer pickup in the neck, 5 way pickup selector switch, two mini toggle switches, pickup configuration is H/S?S consisting of a Di Marzio Super 3 Humbucker in the Bridge, a Di Marzio HS-2 Single Coil in the middle, and the Jackson Sustainer Pickup in the Neck. The bridge and mid pickups are passive while the neck is active and requires batteries. Strat Style Body, Bolt On Quartersawn Maple Neck and awesome Quilted Maple Fingerboard, 25.5' Scale with a 1 11/16'
Guitar was setup with 10's and was perfect, action was little tight but not an issue as you have to learn to adjust to the instrument on the fly, which is a good thing especially if you play live and your favorite axes…….fails you! I always use 9's so thats probably why
I found it rather tight! However this is what annoyed me swomewhat, I am used to playing jackson with wide flat necks, and playing scales or arpeggios in the high a area, was somewhat annoying as the NECK ROUNDNESS on this guitar is very close to the traditional strat neck,
which is somewhat small, and my hand are somewhat big and little chunky..this is why I prefer the Older bolt-on san dimas necks with pointed headstocks (which get harder and harder to find on a daily basis)even some Tom Anderson necks are really killer shreders. If your a rythym player and occasional solo player, not a pscyco path as myself you will love it, I love playing rythym on this guitar it just sounds super, I think Phil Collins likes this traditional strat type neck and it does the job for him well, IMHO if the neck was slightly a little wider like the original bolt-ons, I would never buy another guitar, I would play these religiously as like I said before they are so nice and fluid! Therefore I am posting an 9 on this……which is really a prefrence issue, nothing more!
No Clue, all was great from Day 1, when I got it from 1st owner! Never had to deal with them in anyway, but I can tell you if you are veryfing an older model and want to confirm if its authentic or not..
if you don't voice call you will get stroked from them, just to busy I guess.
