They have some of the best looking guitars for their price point . Tho headstockless guitars are just plain ugly

They are but I just cant get past the headless look. It just seems so...wrong.

I guess it’s like drummers and Cymbals...

[@AgathiusMusic]

Nah bro its risky business. For a high end guitar, I want it to be flawless especially if I am paying at 2.5k - 3k price range. I have heard they are really bad at handling customer complaints.

.........Yea, bruh, like omg, da feelz is real. Ya feel me? Nawmsayin? Sheeeeeeit

[@peachmelba1000]

I found it pretty robotic. Impressive technique of course, but kind of a dull composition. I would really like to see someone combine this level of precision playing with a bit more wildness and insanity. Few since Steve Vai have done that.

[@elijah2118]

@@peachmelba1000 I'd agree here. The timing on everything is so exact, and I love that. But I feel there's something almost kind of "missing" from this. Either way, amazing song. Great work!

[@Purgatoriesify]

Mannnn, this rips so hard. I think he’s come such a long way as a guitarist and he honestly writes such great melodies. I stan the fuck outta Lee

Has to be one of the sickest tapping riffs i've ever heard.

[@nipulkradmsinatagras8293]

Like a breath of fresh air, this track is so rejuvenating. 10/10.

[@AndrewLein]

that Lee's album is really underappreciated

[@kademcgill2599]

Want the sax doubling the tapping section.

[@WuKingdom1]

Oh wow...Lee DOES have some piano in the background playing the tapping notes in the bridge/chorus on the back end of the song, but hearing the sax play it would be amazing.

[@AndrewScott1762]

💯

[@garrywhite13371337]

I was thinking the same thing!! That would be hard to execute consistently for a song but would be cool to hear for sure 👍

[@WuKingdom1]

Omg, where do I start to dissect this song??...The perfect guitar tones, the sweet melodies and harmonies with the Sax...such a chill vibe yet I could still mosh to it. The song is designed SO well from verse to verse, the transitions are seamless, the rhythm section has long pauses in it so your ears can focus on the leads...You even put a "tick-tock" from a clock in the end of the song...Fucking genius! This is the type of music I strive to write myself but I lack the understanding of music you have, and I'm 1/2 as talented on guitar. So fucking good man...
