The absolute best thing going for the money.
by wheelman , November 2005
I bought this guitar. Fist thing I noticed was how bitey it was. Well bitey is a nice term compared to what I was hearing. It sounded like eardrums shredding. I couldn't stand its' fatiguing tone. Now however the weirdest thing happened. It's almost the complete opposite of what I was hearing in the beginning. It has and incredible rich tone with alot of complexity to the midgrage. The bottom end is nice an thick, but tight. The top end is still bitey but in a wonderfull sweet way. I've owned to many guitars to even care to write down/brag about. I still have a couple killer guitars that will be past down to future generations, but this guitar holds it's own even to them tone wise. I must mention the customer service at sweetwater is near perfect. I have to give credit to Paul Allen for being my sales rep for many years even when I wouldn't buy anything. He was always there just incase I needed anything. I've grown to know him as a friend. Please if your in the market for good classic rock to down right brutal tones. This is your axe. Right exactly where i've always wanted to be. I never could get real heavy, and those complex vintage tones, but now I have. I've owned one ten years ago, and regretted getting rid of it in the first place. I must add back then I had nowhere near the caliber of amps I do now. All is well now. Hope I helped someone. Just get a red one so your not copying me :) I must go now and tear it up!!!!
Best of the bunch...
by Joker-b (songwriter--bluesplayer) from Nevada, August 2004
I have 10 guitars. I play them all. This is the best of the bunch. I own a strat, a tele, an I banez semi-hollowbody, a couple of Washburns, a Takamine "Parlor" guitar (acoustic), and an Ibanez bass guitar. Everything from solid body to acoustic. This guitar is the best player that I've bought yet. The only thing I had to do was set the action a little lower, and after that, just play. I write worship music, blues gospel and whatever else inspires me (mostly blues gospel). This guitar is highly recommended if you want some powerful tones for anything from blues to heavy metal...It will rock with anything you put up against it...
