Allright

I bought this around 2001 from a friend in London I thought the decal was cool and I still have it its not a bad guitar not great either, only mods are the replaced tuners (black grovers) and the slash seymour duncans in it, pretty good sounding instrument but has been neglected for a while so the frets are disgusting maybe ill polish them but they are pretty worn down and I probably need to refret it but I cant be bothered right now maybe ill get around to it sometime soon but for now it can sit in my cupboard in its old gibson chainsaw case EDIT I have now refretted it with medium jumbo frets I removed the barbs and used super glue to stick them in and it plays pretty great I forgot how good the slash duncans sound.
