One Kool Kat

I got to choose mine from SWEETWATER'S Guitar Gallery.
Beautiful Maple Veneered top. I have large hands and this plays PERFECT. Great action and string bending.The tone is super VINTAGE, and with tweaking the controls
through my Epiphone Blues Custom 30 all tube amp makes it a SUPER tone machine! Everyone who has seen it are very impressed with its appearance! Great tone for a super price!

Smooooooth

I would not give this to just any guitar, But I was truly blown away at the sound and feel of this guitar,,,I seriously went into the store to debunk a freinds suggestion that my son buy one of these,,,but I walked out WITH one of my own instead......The P90's were amazing, this thing sounds much more expensive than it is,,,and there are seperate volumes for each as well as a master which makes this almost like a varitone except with more range,,,It sounds like a much larger semi-hollow, the back and sides are from the same block of Mahogony like the big boys with a Beautiful Flame top,,,,and the playability,,this thing plays like Butter......I thought that it had been set up but when I got my new one from the back and opened it,,,,,it was perfect,,,,it needed little tuning and the intonation was dead on,,,,I do wish that it did not have the Bigsby but since it's there I may even try some dive bombing,,,,

My Only Gripe

Absolutely love this guitar. It came set up ready to play. The action is nice and the fretboard has a nice feel; chords and solos are easy to play. It also has a very clean, bell like tone. I could get some very Johnny Lang-like blues sounds out of this thing. When you kick up the gain, it drives quite nicely. Though the pick-ups do have a tendency to scream and not feedback. My only gripe is that it won't stay in tune when I use the bigsby tremolo a lot. I even went with 11 strings to try and help the tuning stability, but to no avail.

Our Customers Say...

My Sales Engineer is the best. If I need it tomorrow, I have it tomorrow. He makes sure everything is in order and that I'm set up right. I've spent a lot of money at other places, too, but I don't remember them calling me to make sure everything's okay.
