Its THAT guitar!

The sound of the guitar is spot on! I have this guitar for 4 years now and it changed a lot over time! it sound twangy and very open. i wrote the most songs of the album "The Hungry Kind" from my Band Ricky Shindig on that guitar. It had a pickup change for 2 years but now its all original again even with the pickguard "haha". The Fat neck is also a goodie, its a good fat C from Gibson and its awesome!
