Body is resoglass "fibergalss" has two hummbuc pickus but I beleave that they are jsut masive single coils. Each pickp has a tone and volume on the upper side of the body. Pickup selector is three way with the middle alowing both to be turned on. One master volume is next to the output jack. Cant tell what sort of wood the neck is because it painted red. Head stock looks sort of like a fender ripoff. Has non locking tuners. Full scale neck rosewood finger board. Realy a fast neck with good action.

My misical style is sort of spacey dreammy effect driven music. Has a grounding problem. not realy noisy or bassie or bright seems just about correct. I like that I can run both pickups at the same time to get a very mellow yet leadish sound. Becase body is hollow it has a nice resonant tone to it.

Great guitar. Better than most made today. It may have been a lower American made model in it's day but the quality is far better than most expensive imports today.
