Published on 06/26/01 at 15:00Purchased this unit used at Midnight Music in Pittsburgh, PA for $300. Originally was $600 new and was only a year old.
It looks like a heavy metal guitar and the combination of dual-single-dual really makes for some interesting tonal combinations. The neck is one of the Wizard types and is fast as hell and flat - designed for fret burning.
I don't like the fact that it seems like with the slightest changes in humidity, the neck goes all out of whack. Maybe it's because it's so thin, but I've had to adjust the truss rod several times.
Well built, nice fit and finish. Even for a used guitar that was used to gig with it remained in great shape. Very solid and good quality hardware.
I would recommend picking one of these up used to anyone. I don't know if I would have paid $600 new for it, but the poor soul who did sure helped me out!
