Suits all styles except for extreme music, pu's are moderate outpit, no shredding here. All other sounds covered thanks to coil taps and versatile tone knobs. Using with Randall s.s RG 140, Fender Deluxe reverb, running into a Digitech Distortion pedal. only noisy in single coil mode. Rich buttery Les Pail Sound...mmmmmm yummy!

20 years playing. Squier neck thru Sub Sonic Baritone, Squier neck thru Stagemasted deluxe. Customized Squier Pro Tone MIJ 9-98, Carlo Robelli 12 string acoustic. I know quality, vs price, obviously since I own the best Squiers ever made,, thats how I knew this jem on the wall of ther pawn shop wall. Would definately look for another one, but would not pay the full price these are getting online. Les Paul sound and quality, w/o the price!
