Thoughts on Deceiver

Looking for a new singlecut with a floyd. Anyone up here have any experience with the Korean Deceiver?

Mostly concerned about it's ability to stay in tune.

I have no problems with my DOA Deceiver (Korean).

60's, do you have the Floyd version, or fixed bridge?

Also, how many different variants of the imported version are there? Right now I'm seeing Deceiver F, and Deceiver FMF (flamed maple). I also see a Deceiver X, but that appears to be fixed bridge.

Asking because this one is new....yet, the price seems too good to be true:

I bought a Classic White Deceiver (string through) and it's such an amazing guitar for the money. I love mine.

I play the DOA Deceiver. I own 2 of them.

I had the Floyd in Classic black, but I sold it because the neck profile was not my preffered choice, and I don't need a floyd.

Fantastic guitars for the money.

The auction link you provided points to a Deceiver that has probably been discontinued, maybe for a while.

It's a good deal, if you like a Floyd. If I hadn't just bought a bunch of ammo (and consequently broke), I'd buy one of them, myself.

I have the deceiver "X" . it is fixed bridge. It is the least expensive model. Mine has a bolt on neck. It had a chip on the shrimp fork head, $100 new on ebay. Pups are ok. It plays and sounds good.
Nice one on ebay:
