Why buy any more guitars? Oh yeah, it's fun to buy guitars. If I could only keep one the Custom would be it.

Played through a Marshall JCM1000 it bellows and growls. Not quite as thick as the Standard but plenty of bite nonetheless. Playability and looks to last a lifetime. Mine has the chambered body that reduces the weight.
