Members fanuvbrak Posted February 16, 2007 Members Share Posted February 16, 2007 Basswood body Set mahogany neck 2 Duncan Designed humbuckers Platinum hardware 2 volume and 2 tone controls Adjustable bridge with stop tailpiece 3-way switching 22 Jumbo Frets Made in Korea I got this at Sam Ash for $199. I've had it about a week. I'd seen it before, but at $399 it never really grabbed me. When I saw it on sale, I made my first impulse guitar buy ever. I'm pretty sure it will be my last when my wife finds out. Fit and finish: Satin finish over a red transparent stain. The black is gloss, but I don't like a gloss finish on the neck, so I went red. It's a set neck and its very well put together. Played well right out of the box.No finish flaws that I've found yet, and there's one sharp fret up around 15 that I'll have to sand. Very easy access to the upper frets. Well balanced and very light. Sound: Similar to an SG. The humbuckers are very hot and fairly bright with tons of midrange. On clean, it has a nice twang to it...almost Strat like. But crank up the overdrive and it becomes a monster. Controls are set up like a Les Paul, so there was no learning curve there. Overall: For $200 this is a great guitar. True, it's not much to look at, but it is an absolute joy to play and listen to. I have a feeling that if I stay with my current band (alt-country), this could become my main guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members OldFenderGuy Posted February 16, 2007 Members Share Posted February 16, 2007 I got mine when they were being 'blown out', don't remember where, but I believe it was also $199. Very nice guitar for that price, now if I can just get it back from the guy that borrowed it. LoL... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members fretmonster Posted February 16, 2007 Members Share Posted February 16, 2007 Nice looking guitar and enjoyed the review fan. But main guitar? I'm surprised comin from a lifetime T-60 player. Now that's a toneful guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
