Published on 06/27/02 at 15:00I bought this guitar because I am into pop punk and wanted a guitar with a hardtail bridge. My Les Paul is uncomfortable to play and my other strat has a tremolo bridge, so this looked like the right thing for me. I bought it at Guitar World (Sydney, Australia) for A$1600
I like how simple it is. I never use the tone knobs or neck pickup on my other guitars, so why bother having them? I also love the surf green color!
The only thing I don't like about this guitar is a bit of dodgy workmanship - whoever built mine must have just woken up from a siesta because the jackplate does not sit correctly over the cavity. When you look at it from some angles you can see into the cavity. I know this is a tiny problem, but when I'm paying good money for a good-name guitar, I expect a certain level of workmanship. Unfortunately these guitars are very rare in Australia so I can't exchange my one :-(
See above. Overall, pretty good, except for the jack plate.
This guitar definitely sounds awesome through my Marshall TSL100 stack! It is just a shame that poor workmanship has disappointed me a bit with what would otherwise be a perfect guitar for my needs.
