Guitar arrived in tune and with nice low setup. Pickups are modern in style with high output. Treble bleed circuit is excellent and enables the volume control to be used to moderate the drive but without changing tone. Tonal range is excellent and stays in tune. Nice slim, smooth neck.

Japanese made guitar with american pickups. Rhythm circuit is great for driving the amp, and further usable tones from lead circuit in both neck and bridge positions. Works great with most effects pedals. Chunky neck and smooth whammy (tremolo) bar. Needed to use the hammer trick to set the tremolo firmly and add PTFE tape around two loose fitting grub screws (so I deducted a star for the faff), but since then has played like a dream.

Original pickups were muddy so replaced with PAF style pickups for cleaner tone.

Very flexible amp with a range of tones. Two clean amp modes - American style and British style. The British style breaks up nicely when the pre amp is cranked up. There are also two overdrive modes, a crunch mode and a bigger overdriven sound. There are also two reverb options built in as well. The amp includes a pedal loop and can be plugged straight into your pc for recording. Finally, and usefully the amp has a 10% power mode which makes this amp useable at home (if you don't have neighbours too close!).
