The european version of a VOS for the price of a Gibson Les Paul Standard.

I've bought this guitar about a year ago and I dont have enough good things to say about it. If you keep the strings fresh it holds the tuning for ever, and it has this beatuiful low mid punch to everything you play with it, without being bass heavy or sounding muddy.
