One more vote for "Great guitar, awesome sleeper"
My first electric guitar was a Blackie Predator in around 96. I bought it used for $125 at a store and probably overpaid.
That guitar disappeared in a cloud of sawdust wherein it received a new set of pickups, then body, then neck, then bridge.
In a fit of nostalgia I bought another one in 2006. For $125 shipped. It played, felt, sounded, and even smelled like my old one. It has a unique neck profile, somewhat chunky. I like it. The pickups are hot and have a unique sound. The tuners are crappy and imprecise, but they don't slip, and they work.
The frets on the old predators invariably have to be dressed. Once you do that they're awesome playing guitars.
I couldn't justify keeping my second predator, and I put the vintage noiseless pups I had originally bought for the first predator about 9 years ago, upgraded the electronics, dressed the frets, cleaned it up, and sold it for a nice profit.
Bonus gutshot!
