A fantastic vintage guitar

Unlike the later models, the H-802 feature pickups that are closer to P90s than they are to single-coils. Both pickups are engaged at all times, and create little noise. There's a single volume and tone pot that control both pickups simultaneously. The pickups are perfect for Alternative-Rock, as well as Blues and Country, if that's your thing.

The guitar's body is extremely small, thin, and lightweight, however it produces a lot of bass. The thickness of the guitar's neck is closer to that of an Epiphone Les Paul, however the width is thinner than that of a Stratocaster, which creates a nice balance that makes it easy to play on.

I recommend this guitar for anyone that enjoys small, and lightweight guitars that produce a big sound. If you can find one for cheap (under $250 as of writing this), I would definitely pick one up!

Preferred Settings + Usage:

High treble, a little bit of a mid-boost, and some gain work perfectly for soloing and blues on this guitar!
