The Story:

I picked this one up with the thought that it’d be my go-to for a mix of shredding and smoother, melodic leads. Honestly, this Horizon-I nailed it from the get-go. The Deep Candy Apple Red finish is the first thing that catches your eye (I mean, who doesn’t love a guitar that practically glows under the lights?). But once you start playing, the Seymour Duncan pickups take you to the next level. You get clarity for chords, smooth warmth for solos, and enough punch for those heavy riffs.

It’s been lightly played, with only a small ding on the back (barely noticeable unless you’re looking for it). I kept it in great shape with regular cleanings, and it still feels as smooth as the first time I picked it up. And let’s not forget the Gotoh locking tuners — stay in tune even after wild whammy abuse. Trust me, this guitar is built for gigs, not just collecting dust.
