I finally entered into digital land with my Tyler Variax JTV-69. The guitar is heavier than I prefer and the jumbo frets arent my favorite but it has become an indispensable tool in my arsenal. I use 5 custom tunings ( virtual capo ) and the drop d all night along with standard of course.
I mainly use the Tele bridge for my country gig but have adapted the LP and Spank models as well. What was really a suprise is the chime settings when strumming ( they sound too keyboardy with single notes.) Also I have never liked the locking tuners but for this application they work great and havent been that much of a problem...
The only gripes I have are that my battery charger is bad so I have to spend another 50 bucks since I got it used and the seller didnt buy it new either I guess. And the bridge is awfully finicky to me while changing strings, the ball ends seem to pass through the bridge way to easy and you have to get them lodged in there just right.
Overall though I am a very happy camper and actually looked into the US made ones until I saw the price and realized that the Korean version is just fine with me....
