I bought this guitar on my 25th Birthday, as a present to myself. It's a flat black, with the widow head stock. I've removed the stock bridge and replaced it with a Schaller Floyd-Rose. I also replaced the pickups with a pair of EMG 81's. This is my "go to" guitar for all things Thrash. It's only an NJ series guitar, but it plays great and growls like a demon straight from the pits of hell. I rarely play it anymore due to the style of music my current band plays, but I foresee her making a come back in the near future...
