I bought this guitar one year ago and I love it more and more all the time. I got the Shore Line gold and it looks so different in person. Very striking. The soft V neck will spoil you. Nothing else feels good to me now. The pick ups are classic sounding strat sounds. It has a vintage sound and that is what i wanted. Great for everything except real heavy stuff. Well made and miles ahead of the standard mim strats. If you like blues, classic rock, Clapton type tones you will be happy. Also great for country. The locking tuners are a nice added feature.

Musical Background:

I have been playing guitar 27 years.

Musical Style:

Blues, classic rock, pop and country
