Really, really well. Nice balance, ridiculously good action.

And the snappiest sound. I think it's a combination of nice alder, 1.6" rim thickness, and the Wilkinson with only two springs installed.

This really is the best guitar for recording rythms that I own.


The lead sound is tied with the Mahogany/Flamed Maple Carvin Bolt Kit that has an L-495L in the bridge (completely different lead sounds but equally good.)
