good

this was a gift from a rich guy my dad knew and it was my first guitar, I like playing really pretty stuff on it bc its funny

danielmetchells

Mine's actually a late 80s/early 90s Platinum series...

...and it was my first "proper" guitar (if I exclude the Squier I learned on). Sadly it fell into disrepair over the years, although I recently put her back together and she really does play as well as I remember. Lovely low action, wide fretboard and easy access to all 24 frets: she is a shredder's delight! Now sadly, I won't be able to crack her out at the weddings I play (unless the couple who had Slayer as their first dance ask us to play an anniversary party), but from a sound perspective, she is more than versatile enough. Both humbuckers are coil-tapped, and so with a couple of tidy Duncans in there, I'm certain she'll definitely be studio-ready!

This guitar is brilliant. Got it second hand for £99.99. The humbuckers are amazing and it sounds brilliant. I am going to restring it and maybe put a Floyd rose on it as well.
