LOCK AND LOAD!!!!!!!!!!! This guitar rips!!! I use an AX2 and this thing goes from country to kill with no effort.The trem is very smooth and it stays in tune after repeated flooging!

it had been sitting for who knows how long and had what appeared to be acoutic strings on it. I took it ALL apart (cept for the electronics) and cleaned and reassembled it , and did the setup with 10-46's. the fit of this guitar is eqal to or better than anything by Fender for the last 15 yrs. or ss. This could have been the Grandaddy of the Big Apple STRAT!

I own a JV sig strat and a SCHECTER C7plus.,ax2 and POD as well as several stratoid guitars i built myself. This guitar was a great find and rips anything out there today for much more $$$$$ I have just purchased another but with the locking trem and will be on the hunt for more.
