old blues guy

I don't care where a guitar is made, what brand is on it, or what it cost; I just care that it plays well and sounds great. I bought a Slick SL57 and was I surprised. It came with a low set up with no fret buzz, good fretwork, a neck profile I love, excellent intonation, and pickup tones that suit my playing style. I play blues and use fender amps. I have a $2100 custom guitar and I play the SL57 most of the time because the sound and playability suit me. Turn up your nose if you must, but don't slander a guitar just because it doesn't suit you or because you're a brand snob. The only thing I don't like is the logo!
