Applause GTX-23

1 volume knob, 1 tone knob and 3 swithes one is an on and off and one of them is a long note switch. Dont know what the last one is?
And A Whammy Bar.

Its great for rock.
Humbuckers are perfect has nothing wrong with them, great condition.
Has a pretty good range of sound if tuned right.
I like everything.

Nice and tightly fitted together.
Neck and bridge are perfectly straight.
No flaws, accepts just a little rust in the cross part of the front screws from sweat.

VERY DURABLE!
All seems like it will last a long time.
Finish just has a couple of small chips of the paint missing from minor bumping.
Very dependable.

No repairs needed

Playing 3 years own a Fender Strat, Charvelle Bass, and a Gibson Blues Hawk signed by Bob Seget.
Only thing missing is one of the fine tune screws on the bottom looking to buy one.
I got it for free from a guy moving out of his apartment and didn't realize how much he could sell it for and its pink but i like it because i got a blue strap so it looks good together.
FANTASTIC VALUE BECAUSE I GOT IT FREE!

Specific production details unknown. Basically this guitar is a copy of a BC Rich ST3. HSS config, individual pickup selector switches, 1 vol and 1 tone knob. KMD licensed non locking tremolo with locking nut behind neck nut. Beautiful snakeskin finish (have yet to see another like it, however I'm sure there are more around). Great guitar for shredding. 10 for being very versitaille.

Pickups are very muddy and weak. Could be due to age and poor wiring, could be the pickup design. Some of the worst I've played/heard. Single coils not shielded, so you hear the 60 cycle hum. Because of the pickups I give it a 3.

Setup was actually decent for being a used guitar. Previous owner(s) had the action so low the low E string grooved the humbucker. Shape of body was great; able to freely move fingers with ease around the neck pockets. Neck nice and straight, also has truss rod adjustment.

Wiring would need to be upgraded to be a reliable guitar. Volume and tone knobs are in good shape and still evenly taper the signal when turned. Tremolo is weak and I recommend an upgrade to a Floyd Rose locking tremolo system. Other than that the guitar is built well.

Been playing for 8 years now. I play hard rock/heavy metal; influenced by bands/artists such as Van Halen and George Lynch. Honestly, the feature I like most is the snakeskin finish. I have seen snakeskin on other guitars, but the patterns don't compare to this. After a hardware and wiring upgrade then it would be a screamer of a guitar. Since I don't have access to a BC Rich ST3 I can't make a comparison.

i BOUGHT THIS BECAUSE OF THE RARE COLOR SPECTRUM CRACKLE FINISH AND REVERSE HEADSTOCK. lITTLE DID I KNOW I WAS IN FOR A TREAT. OUT OF MY 8 GUITARS......THIS IS MY FAVE.
