An excellent affordable customizable Strat-clone

Definitely needed a good setup when I got it, I changed the strings, adjusted the bridge, also did the Eric Johnson tone-control mod for the lead pickup. This guitar sounds excellent. And it feels good in the hands, the neck shape makes it feel easy. Not quite as easy as my first late-90's Lyon strat clone (that thing was a shred-machine), but it's pretty good.

Small combo amp but sounds really big.

My first tube amp. Nice solid little 20-watt EL84/6BQ5 combo with a 10" speaker and 12AX7's in the preamp sockets. If it's plugged into a 4x12 cab then it absolutely kills, very nice high-gain tones if you turn it up, very bright treble and mids, very Vox-y, gives good speaker feedback and squeals... Takes pedals very well, I've plugged all sorts of stuff into the front of it, there's no effects loop. If you're able to get the type with built-in spring reverb then definitely buy it.
