Made god-knows when, bought in 1999 only about a month ago. 22-fret, fulcrum bridge, a nice pick-up setup, (2 standard, 1 humbucker,), Grover machineheads. I had to have a tremolo on it.... medium sized frets, accessories were extra, but considering i paid only #99!!!! I wasn't too bothered... Mahogany fret-board, maple neck, and im not sure what wood the main body is made of. Lovely natural finish, but is probably, one of the nicest looking guitar i have ever seen. Tone and volume control, 5 pickup settings...
Sound

I play a lot of rock, and 'grunge', but occasionally some soft rock and other... Sound good for heavy stuff, but lacks a little bit of 'ooomph'. I would've liked a better set of pick-ups such as the floyd rose, but for the price, i will not complain. Mucho variety though, in the type of sounds it can make, makes this guitar great. It feels SUPERB, and i prefer it over the Squier Strat any day.

Pickups were djusted ok-ish, no real flaws, build feels quite good, although a little tacky. It has survived me though so far, so... No rusting so far, a very dodgy pickup selector though..

Been playing for not too long, but as long as I have played, I have played many good guitars. I felt that this came towards the standard of even the Les Paul Custom in terms of sound, and capability. I really like it, I think it looks great, and i think anyone should buy one. A great bargain buy.
