Best value out there right now

Love the fit, finish and sound. The Bigsby works perfect! Mine is the model with Filtertron pickups and they sound great! Don't care for the polished neck - too stiff and squeaky until it gets sweaty. Other than that I love the way it plays. I'm a Gibson guy, so I'm always hitting the volume knob which is too close, but I have the same problem with my Strat, so anyone used to that will be fine. Picked mine up secondhand for 400 bucks and it didn't have a scratch on it. Absolutely beautiful guitar for the price!

Preferred Settings + Usage:

I like the "Dry Swich" push/pull knob in the up position. I use this guitar mostly for brutally clean, Gretsch-y type stuff and it's perfect for that with the Bigsby. Does the Brian Setzer thing perfect!
