Sound
:
No Opinion
I pay everything from Rock, Rockabilly, Country, Jazz, Punk, Heavy Metal, Alternative, Ska, Reggae, Blues, Bop. This is perfect for it all. I play it with a 1963 Fender Bassman and the only effect is a Roland 301 Space Echo. For not having many controls, this thing is like throwing every style of guitar ever made into one. Very full Rich sound.

Overall Rating
:
10
I've been playing for 31 years. I own a Strat, Tele, Les Paul, ES-345, Gretsch 6120, Rickenbacker 360/12, and many others. This is by far the best one I own. I gig with it all the time, often without a backup. I really love the fact that the controls are down to a minimum. Just Volume and pickup selector. I compared it to just about every style of guitar under the sun. Nothing comes close. You can get play anything on it and get an incredible sound.
This model is like the Stradivarius of Guitar!
