Its a Demon - granted I've bought it 2nd hand and it has been Customised and professionally set up but this Babe can Growl,Mew,Croon,and Scream whenever You ask it of her! Wah (Zakk Wylde),Marshall Bluesbreaker,Boss Blues Driver,Wasabi Reverse Delay.No Hum but full of Punch.There is Nothing to Dislike here - it stands up and surpasses My Gibson in Various ways,i.e. Variable Tones annd Subtlety,Beauty,faked Aged Selector,rims around the edge.
