Frets99 Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 No I didn't buy one, technically. I bought one for my son back in 2000-2001. It's been in a closet most of that time. I picked it up and remembered what an outrageously good deal it was. $69! The fit and finish is comparable to my Schecter Banshee which I think has an amazing fit and finish. This one was made in Korea. The neck is really amazing. Kind of a slim taper polyurethaned. Smooth as silk. Alder / Nato plywood body that has a nice weight to it. Really feels solid. Hardware is the usual stuff on cheap guitars. The strings haven't been changed since back then. This thing was alomost in tune when I picked it up. I decided to take it and clean it up. Maybe even mod her up. Can't tell yet but the pups sound a bit brittle to me right now. With a little TLC, this could become a really nice player.

Members sahlomonic Posted March 13, 2008 Members Share Posted March 13, 2008 I've owned 2 of those, and I still regret getting rid of them. They were the best guitars under $100 I've ever bought - hell, I would have paid up to $300 and been okay with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frets99 Posted March 13, 2008 Author Share Posted March 13, 2008 The neck is worth more than I paid!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ashtray Posted March 13, 2008 Members Share Posted March 13, 2008 Oh, well everyone knows that the guitars made in Korea are amazing! It's the ones made in China that are junk. Or was that last week? This week I think it's Indonesia that makes junk, and China makes amazing guitars. Just messing with ya! I had a Hamer Slammer strat copy in that same color - made in the late 90s - very slim neck, and cheap hardware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
