It's... Weird
I found this guitar at a fleamarket back in 2019 and I thought it looked kind of cool. I tried looking for information on it and only found similar looking versions of it and not exactly the one that I have. Never the less it's a fun guitar. It's not my favourite but it sounds suprisingly good and I have used it mostly during smaller scale gigs when I've needed a nice warm clean tone. The guitar itself has a 5-way mic switch, one volume knob and two tone knobs. The bridge is a one-way tremolo but it didn't come with a whammy bar, I've used a fender stratocaster whammy bar the few times that I've used the tremolo. A little bit of information that I could find on the piece is that it was made in between 1984 and 1987 as a entry-level strat.

Good for it's price.
Got it together with my Line 6 Spider II 150W amp head. It sounds good enough and has a good low end sound. It's mids and highs can sometimes feel slightly lacklustre but that hasn't stopped me from enjoying this amp thoroughly. It's definetly good for it's price.

Good starter amp.
This was my first proper amplifier and I used it together with the matching Line 6 cabinet. I've had a few minor problems with it not responding to my inputs on the knobs such as the volume gaps being weird and not being able to turn off the effects. I don't want that to bring this amp down though. Despite it's small flaws I've had with it, it's a really decent starter amp. I paid only 120€, second hand, together with the cabinet and I've brought it to both practice and bigger events. It's got a decent enough distortion and a good variety in both effects and sounds.

A good mid-range guitar.
I got this guitar second hand at a very good price (250€ in Finland). It was also equipped with a new bridge pickup. It had been switched out for a SeymourDuncan Invader instead of the stock humbucker that was there originally. I like the way it plays with it's very thin neck and quite "quick" feeling play style in general. The sound is good enough for just about anything I throw at it. I've played it live at a few different occassions. One metal festival, multiple smaller gigs with music ranging from classic hard rock to gospel and much more. This is my go to guitar at the moment and I am very happy with how it works for me.
