Lotus fo228

Lotus, Strat copy: Bought at pawn shop this year for $80.00.
Very good shape, model # f0228 on heel of neck.Pearl white body,maple
rosewood neck. Solid body. Three white passive single coils, pretty quiet.5-way selector,
volume and two tone controls,basically same as Srtat set up.Electronics funtion well.Dont know year of guitar anyone know?
I heard late 80,s probably Japan.

I really lke playing this guitar.Had to set it up a little.Adjust the bridge which is six screw by the way, three spring vibrato.Readjust intonation.Plays great,feels like a Strat seems to be short scale guitar though, I dont mine.Decent sounds with the set up I have now.
I play through a old Carvin x-60 all tube amp, to a Laney 2x12 cabinet.My effects as follows: Boss DS-2 overdrive distoration,
Real Tube Overdrive by realtube, to a Akia Headrush E-1 pedal.

Had to readjust Bridge a bit, and intonation, plays and sounds great.
Pickups,I readjusted to my liking.Solid body I think Alder,and sounds very good.I agree with others Lotus owners, who have concerns with the tuners.I am planning on replacing them, maybe sperzel lockers.Pickups are suprisingly quiet, good articulation.Hey, I feel very happy about this purchase for $80.00!! If i have to put in 150.00 bucks for upgrades ,dont mind a bit.

Yes i am going to play this guitar out on live gigs.Everyhing seems solid to me, even when using wammy bar,which I adjusted springs to correct tnsion, at least for me.Stays in tune pretty much,without abuse of tremolo bar.I am going to play this guitar, with a backup of course always have and extra guitar man come on..different songs different tones.

Bought it used ,fixed and set up, myself.

Been playing guitar for over 30plus years, Been playing semi-pro past 10 or so years.I am a session recording player as well.Singer Songwriter.
