When I first ordered this guitar I didn't realize it was a micro guitar ,it's not much much of a micro just a slightly shorter scale length ,but wow when I picked it up it was amazing ,effortless string bends ,fantastic tension ,so much fun ,it's light ,fast and the maple neck has great bite ,I can see why Paul Gilbert uses this model on stage live ,I could not flaw the pickups great harmonics and well suited to so many playing styles ,a fantastic guitar for All age groups ,love it
