Suprisingly good guitar

I bought this in a very sorry state to do up and flip but ended up keeping it as it was so good. Sure, the body could be "nicer" and made of fewer pieces of wood - and it is certainly on the heavy side - but the neck is the familiar outstanding Matsumoku quality and the STC vibrato is surprisingly good. The Gotoh tuners alone are worth on their own than I paid for this guitar, which plays better than my MIM Fender Classic 70s. Mine is very very tatty looking but I can live with it as it plays so well. And I've kind of fallen in love with the honey colour, even though I never liked clear varnish guitars before.
