My most dearest guitar was made -96 handmade at England.
It is 22 fretted solidbody electric dream.
There are volume, tone, 5-way selector.
I dunno much 'bout the pickups, but they're Seymour Duncans alright (two singlecoils and a bridge humby).
Body is brazilian mahogany, neck is rockmaple, fretboard is ebony.
Shape is much like PRS but a bit softer and smoother.
Wilkinson trem is totally awesome and Spelzer locking tuners are the best when it comes to changing strings.
Flaming red quilted maple top.
ah yeah.. and the "Falling Leafs" inlay (niiiiiiiiice!)
Sound

I play funk/metal/jazz/hardrock stuff and it goes like a fist in the eye to anything.
I got Trace Elliot Tramp (I buying a new amp) and whole lot of effects including Bass Whammy (better than the guitar wham), Zoom 9030 ect.
This guitar can produce so tight, sexy and funky funk it beats anything. And with distortion it sounds totally grrrrrrrrreat! - from a full, warm blues drive to heavy, massive, metal dive. (ho! I'm going poetic, ha!) But for guitarslapping it has a bit too metallic sound.
Action, Fit, & Finish

Everything seems to be in perfect order.
But one thing is somewhat annoying; it scratches reather easily.
I bought it "used" (the guy hadn't played it almost at all).
Tough it had this vicious prob - the wilkinsons locking trem system that was so damn unstable I had to remove the lock. It has been a dream since then.
Perfect - seemingly made with love
Reliability/Durability
:

It's totally dependable in any assocations. One guitar, that's it. Just remeber to change the strings before the gig (just in case /;^)
Customer Support

The guitar has lifetime warranty if you bother to get yourself to Patrick Eggle "care list". I didn't send the form (wich should've been sent from 3 weeks after the deal) so I ain't got no warranties of any kind. I kinda regret it.. sob...
Overall Rating

I've wankin' about 8 years classical (wich I quitted recently) and 4 or 5 years in electric.
I fell in love with it so fast that I hadn't even tried it with an amp before I bought it.
If someone would dare to steal my baby I'd hunt those motherfuckers down till the end!
I love everything about it! It's so damn groovy sound goin' play the funk on stage and doin' these freaky dives with whammy (trem AND pedal) now and then, it's soooo awesome!
I bet/know there always something better, but I don't probably need another six string electric guitar in my life.
It has every option and thing I'd ever want to have.
If you like PRS... try this.
