"Awesome Axe!!"

Overall: 4.5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
This is a great guitar with excellent sound quality and playability. The strings are very stiff and too heavy for me. I prefer 9's these feel like 11's or at best, heavy 10's. Other than that I LOVE the look and feel of this axe and it has no problem staying in tune. As always, I received the product a day before I was to begin watching for it. Glad I was home!

Musical Background:

I have been playing guitar on and off since the 70's. I also sing main vocals and have played harmonica trumpet and keyboard.

Musical Style:

Mostly Classic rock and Country. Dabble in some blues and gospel also.
