Ive been playin for 7 years , the gear i own is tons of boss pedals, danelecto, i run it through 2 huge marshalls. If this guitar was lost i would definetly buy another. I love everything about it.My favorite feature is the pickups. I chose this one right when i plugged in, I knew it was the one.

It was made in Mexico, in the 80's. It has 22 frets. A solid top. 3 way selector switch, 2 SD Humbuckers H/H. Solid maple body with a maple neck with a rosewood fingerboard (a dream to play on) Copy of a Floyd Rose tremelo. I took the locking bolts off the neck because they buzzed. It is a copy of the Gibson Explorer (James Hetfield's of Metallica). Not as pointy and kind of rounded. Grover tuners come standard, very nice! Set in neck, maple with rosewood fingerboard, thin, just like a 54' Strat. Didn't come with any accessories, So I bought a Gibson 84' Explorer hardshell case, why buy a gig bag.

This is a great guitar for what I play. I like to play Metal,punk, and rock. Like Metallica, Zeppelin, Pantera, Ozzy, Pennywise, Sabbath, Nirvana, KoRn, MEAN 93, and other underground punk stuff. I use a Duncan Cry-Baby wah wah, and a DOD Grunge FX-69, and I play on a Fender Frontman 25R. They all play great together and I wouldn't trade it for the world.

The body and neck were set up really well. The dual humbuchers are really nice(especially for an old guitar). The dual humbuchers can go really high and really low. I've only had to fix the intonations once on it(in 95', now 98'), and it plays great to this day.

This axe can dtand up to anything and ask for more. I have dropped it,and banged into things with it. The hardware has lasted strongly for the entire time I've had it. The finish is translucent purple and still shining. The strap buttons are solid enough, but not as great as my Strat. I would bet my life on the dependibility of this guitar. There is no need for a backup guitar when using it on stage.

I've had guitars over the past and this guitar(which I've had for five years) has held up really well and the neck plays great! I would buy another one if I could find one. I love this guitar and I'm going to keep it until I die. I compare this to the Epiphone Les Pauls, Explorers, and SG's and it blows them away, though I would like to add some Gibson Les Pauls, Explorers, and SG's to my collection.
