Well, where do i start. This complete musical instrument includes many features, such as "magnetized" pickups and dual "tone" controls. It is a soft however durable finish that feels exeptionally smooth due to the lack of gloss. the pickguard has a few large holes in it and appears to have been sawed off at a time, but i believe this increases the tonal capabillities of the Instrument if you are playing without an amplification system. I prefer the Peavey Triple for amplifiers. There is a rosewood fretboard with an unfinished maple neck. The headstock has a beutiful painting of a sword and reads "EXCALIBUR" in fancy lettering.

Well my musical styler goes everywhere from blues to rock to emo-core to heavy metal and back to blues again. This Instrument suits all of my styles of musical play. the Instrument has a wide tonal range from the low E to the high E, from the sweet, soft rythmic sound of the neck pickup to the cutting, disproportionately whiny sounds of the bridge pickup. It also includes a great feature that i implemented myself. I halfway broke the selector switch so when pressure is applied you get a great staticy feedbacking cut out noise that may sound very annoying to the untrained ear, but to the aspiring musician like myself it sounds like a symphony.

This piece of armoric guitar manufacturing from korea has withstanded more beating and hard playing than anything ever and i CANNOT break it. i have tried trust me. it CANT be done. it weighs over 10 lbs and after a time begins to hurt your shoulder because it is so heavy the strap like cuts your arm off. i have sanded it. chopped it with a hatched, hit it with hammers, banged it on the ground, taken it apart, cut the pickup wires, you name it, it still plays.
