It's a pretty plain jane guitar to look at
Sound
:

I love the sound of this guitar. although it has no electronics, i use 9 to 10 guage electric strings on it and use it a lot for solos when id do a lot of bending.

i love the wide neck on this one, lots of room for bending and i'm a bass player, so that makes it more comfortable for me. it has some high frets around 12th but not a big problem.

i have taken this beast camping, done open mic gigs with it, and used it in the studio. it mics up pretty nicely. going to have pickup installed and fret work done soon.

I have been playing for 25 years and played many guitars. this one is not special for it's sound (average) but for some reason, when i run out of ideas; i pick this one up and write something new. my joke is that it "has a lot of songs in it". i picked it up while working at a pawn shop in '01, a little kid knocked it off the rack & caused a little body damage. i was told by the boss to destroy it and throw it in the dumpster....couldn't do it. i paid $20.00 for it and have written many songs with it. it looks like hell, but i won't even lend it out anymore. market value $0.00. priceless to me.
