iamqman « One classic guitar »

It has a great feeling a great tone and is extremely versatile from for any style of music. These are mahogany paste body and neck woods with a rose would fretboard. With two humbucker pick ups installed with two volume control knobs into tone control knobs. You can pretty much dial this guitar into fit any music that you're playing. These are great guitars for cover music or an assortment of different styles of music. You have a great tone and a great voicing for just rock 'n roll period.

SOUNDS
These guitars will fit in any amplifier sound that you have. Try using a clean amplifier or a overdriven high gain amplifier even a moderate gain amplifier this guitar will sound trading any setting that you ask. It has a great feel for rhythm or soloing and you can use an assortment of effects or overdrive or distortion pedals to really dial-in the perfect tone to match your amplifier. This is the kind guitar that you only wish you could have we first started out playing guitar. If you're lucky enough to own a guitar like this when you first started out in your pretty lucky person. This is it an elite type of guitar for someone he's a professional or someone is spent enough time playing who knows exactly what they're looking for.
I pretty much like these guitars primarily in a hard rock tone setting. The music that I generally play into me nothing sounds better than this guitar and a marshall style amplifier. The connection that you get with this guitar and a martial voicing amplifier is just a perfect match to my years. It has a great balance and great chemistry with those amplifiers. Don't get me wrong these guitars will sound good and pretty much any setting that you have. They sound great with Sandra amplifiers just as well. But to my ears nothing sounds better than a high gain amplifier and primarily a Marshall amplifier with these guitars.
OVERALL OPINION
I highly recommend this guitar to anyone wanting to step up into the area of great tonal territories. These are great guitars for hard rock all the way down to indie rock and contract country music. You can find them pretty easily on the classifieds or use markets. There's a lot of these guitars out there so I suggest playing one before you buy. They are expensive so the used market is the way I would go.
