Extended range, yes. Goes all the way down to F# for Messhuggah chugga, or right up the top for those Uli Jon Roth solos.
I hate to be a brand snob, but it is a genuine Nothing, made up in my home town by no-one, and I wouldn't play anything else. It's visually stunning, of course, and the first thing you notice after that is that it doesn't weigh a thing. You barely know you're wearing it, so much so that neither does anyone else. The tuning is spot on, always at perfect concert pitch, unless you're playing with Neil Young. The only time you need to mess with the machine heads is when you're trying to get a smile out of that girl who just thinks you're being a prat.
As is standard on these instruments, the whammy bar is one which is always the right length for wherever you put your hand to grab it. Very convenient and very responsive. It may need some lubrication as you can feel the springs creaking a bit. A drop or two of '3 in 0' oil should do it, and if you have an imaginary shed you'll already have a bottle of that knocking about.
No knocks or dings, but it does have evidence of cigarette smoke all the way through it. Gigbag, hardcase, stand, four 100 watt Marshalls and eight 4x12s included, but I need to keep my air cables, as I still sometimes pretend to play bass, and I'm not made of play money.
