Awesome Guitar

This is a player's guitar - the feel is just fantastic. Killer crunch with these PU's - digging the sound way more than my Les Pauls...The Maestro tremolo is awesome - never had one before, but it's so touch sensitive...Great guitar...

Plays Itself

I've owned this model for five years now. It's sounds are all beautiful to hear from jazz tones to paint peeling metal. I really do love it and it practically plays itself due to the wonderful neck and action. I did however, and still do from time to time, experience some very frustrating tuning stability issues. The G and B strings would get hung up in the nut alot when bending and the Maestro trem would cause it to fly out of tune from top to bottom if I even bumped it. I understand it's not a Floyd Rose locking trem but the player should at least be able to use it very gently when playing open chords on a clean amp setting. The next one I buy will have a fixed bridge.
