A classic must.
It needed some adjustment; it wasn't well set from factory. Rock machine that bridges tele tones to SG kinda tones. Really good for classic 70's rock, southern rock and Americana. Open chords sound beautiful in this; think of Tom Petty. Excellent minihumbucker pickups, especially the neck which is warm but not muddy at all. I put 11-56 in this and still feels soft and playable. Came with a great case to protect your investment. It was my main live guitar for 4 years and it is still my main studio guitar.

No gimmicks, awesome tone!
Simple but great. Incredibly well built. Great mahogany body; comfortable neck and everything hand made. Wonderfull P90 Amber pickup, quite warm. Despite the simplicity, lots of tones in this rock machine. It can handle almost anything, from country to classic rock or punk rock. Feels like a vintage junior.
Preferred Settings + Usage:
Everything all the way up all the time!! Just kidding... The idea is to play with the volume knob to clean up your sound or roll back the tone control if you want to get a darker, more nasal sound (good for sustain leads)...But with a guitar like this everything depends on your hands.
