It plays amazingly, the build quality is second to none, the sustainer and fuzz factory are genuine improvements that can be used muscially instead of gimmicks, and the PF-1 pickup is exactly what I want out of a guitar

I got one of these for around £200 second hand. It plays great, the stock pickups sound decent and the stock tuners hold tuning well. I learned to play on this, and I wouldn't have chosen anything else.

Small enough to carry around, loud enough to gig, and the headroom/bedroom switch makes it viable for home use as well. The gain goes from crystal clean to hard rock, and with a TS style drive you can even get a halfway decent metal tone

This amp is incredible. It has endless sounds in it, it's easy and intuitive to use, it's cheap, it's small, it's light, it's loud, there's very little not to like. If I were to get it again, I'd opt for the 100w version that has a different speaker, but that's not to say the speaker in the 50 isn't good, just different. Since I've got a Orange Rocker 15 Terror, I've mainly used the Katana with a Dirty Shirley overdrive pedal or Big Muff to blend in with the Orange, and it excels at filling out the sound.

I watched one demo of this with Billy Corgan playing it, bought it based on that video, and I haven't wanted a single other fuzz pedal since I first switched it on

For the price, this is one of the best pedals I've ever bought. It pushes the amp like a TS but for 1/5th of the price. I wouldn't want to take it on stage, I'd worry about breaking the plastic housing, but for messing around at home that's not an issue.

Super comfortable to play, all the hardware on it feels solid and the guitar as a whole feels well built. The pickups are slightly more modern voiced, so it maybe won't give you the classic telecaster sound, but it does sound great.

This was a collaboration between Manson and Bare Knuckle that was the primary pickup used for the recording of the Muse album Black Holes and Revelations. It defines the sound of the album, while still managing to be suitable for other sounds and genres. It has a bright top end, plenty of cut due to a solid mid voicing, and gives a fairly tight low end that lets you play modern styles of metal.

For a cheap multiscale guitar, this really punches well above it's weight. It has locking tuners and EMG 707 pickups, it really does what it says on the tin. Super comfortable, neck feels great, solidly built, it looks great. I think you'd struggle to find a guitar this good with a major brand name.

You can pick these up for <£100 and it's an absolute classic for a reason. So much gain on tap if you need it or a solid boost to a driven amp, works both ways, and being Boss it's built like a tank.
