Published on 01/18/03 at 15:00I bought this of of Musician's Friend for 180...a great deal
Number one, incredible looks...ok so it's no NJ beast, but nothing is. The pickups on this thing are excellent, and you get a good sound from any amp channel. This axe is a tad on the heavy side, but that's a good thing cause it won't be slidin around when you're rockin out. Solid fretwork, and the bridge makes string changes a snap. The tuners are magnificent, i've never had this guitar come out of tune. Some might complain about the lack of features (only one tone and volume knob and a 3-way switch) but it's enough to get a great sound.
You do have to do a little work with the pickup placement to get a good tonal sound out of it, but once you find the sweet spot it's sonic heaven. Also, some extra fiddling is required to find a good adjustment zone for your strap, more than with other guitars, simply because of the weight.
A very solid guitar, doesn't nick easily at all (except when your idiot father puts it on a cement floor with no carpeting underneath). Frequent polishing is required cause of the finish, but you oughta take pride in your guitar anyway.
For the price, this is a great guitar. Sure you could do better in looks and features, but in terms of playability and sound, this is a great buy.
