Excerpt:

Sonically, the Blackouts are monsters. They're a little twangier than you might think when clean, which we like, but the slam of the distorted tone almost knocks you off your feet.

Thick, fat, dark and swaggering, these units make no apology for their metal leanings, and while you can't hear the maple, the warmth of the mahogany is brutal for down-tuning and hard rhythms. You could argue that you'll be playing so fast the lack of sustain is moot, which we guess we'd accept.
