Good guitar, some playability issues
This is a solid guitar, only issue is there the tone and volume knobs are located. You will hit them while playing. But thats just the price you pay for playing with this vibey instrument

Fun look with an interesting sound.
The first thing that attracted to me this guitar was the looks obviously. I have the gold sparkle version and I get comments about it at every show. Moving onto tone and functionality though, this guitar looks like it has humbuckers but it actually has single coils (gold foil style I believe). In some ways, it has a tone that verges on strat-like but the similarities are not excessively congruent. A player could definitely tell the difference in the tone. The 3p-DLX sounds heftier and the unique body style adds almost a natural compression. I get asked a lot if the knobs being up top get in the way or cause any problems but they really don't all the much. As long as I adjust them how I like at the beginning of the set, they don't move a lot. Tuning is a little bit of an issue from time to time but that is to be expected since it has a bigsby. I think the long spring in the bigsby mitigates some of that problem though.
