I got mine two months ago and absolutely love it. Lightweight, and works well on anything I play. I don't have the problems with detuning when using the whammy anywhere near as badly as I do on my strat.
Basic LP copy, I need to replace the pickup switch since it broke a few years ago. It still works, just doesn't have a post and knob coming out of it so it makes it tough to flip mid-song. But overall I love the sound it gets.
It plays like any other MIM strat, but the paint job is different on every single one. They were made in several different color combinations, and each done in a splatter-painting thus rending every guitar different.
First guitar I ever owned, got it for about $100 new in 2003. It's just your standard, beginner guitar. Nothing special really. Sounds decent enough to me, I still use it now.
I picked it up as a beginner instrument and love the tone it gets. Even a bandmate of mine who has more experience with them than I do thought it was great quality for the price.

I love the wide variety and combination of sounds that can be put in, however it's not the easiest to adjust individual parts of a saved setting. Also not a fan of the fact I can only save 40 and have to keep the 40 pre-programmed settings.
Not the greatest delay pedal in the world, but a great beginner model and great for a value pedal.
This was my first experience with a loop pedal. From what I can figure out, it's a good budget starter item to get used to learning the timing of how to use it. I like it, aside from the fact the click of the switch gets picked up VERY clearly. If not for that, I'd give it an easy five stars. Maybe there's some alteration that can be done to make it click less loudly?
