I use my '72 reissue for just about everything. The neck is perfect and the intonation is great! The wide range humbuckers in my opinion are a bit less dark then the humbuckers on my Blacktop Strat and gives the guitar a very lively tone. Overdriven or clean, this guitar fits the bill. It is also light, and because I love to jump around on stage, low weight is fairly important for me!

I bought my Blacktop Strat a few years ago when they were a fairly new item. Mine is sonic blue, which is gorgeous (as opposed to the black shown here). Originally it was set up absolutely horrendously, but since I have had it set up properly. To me the neck feels a bit dead and the pickups are slightly too dark and muddy for my tastes. However, I think it sounds fantastic and beefy when tuned a whole step down.
