Good questions.
It it has become my main guitar. Reason is that I play mostly metal with all different tunings so easy to go from one tuning to another and then to another using the helix with the Shuriken.
I'm very happy with the build quality.
'I'm used to,the baritone scale length and had never tried that before this guitar. I'm used to it. But if you go from a standard guitar to the Shuriken in the same session it may feel a bit different for a short while.
Id recommend trying one if possible before buying.
