The pictures of this guitar simply don't do it justice. It is absolutely stunning!!! I already own an American Special Strat, so I really didn't need one, but when I stumbled across this, I just had to buy it. It has a metallic finish, which looks far better in person. Jumbo frets aren't for everyone, but I prefer them over anything else I've played, and I love the sound of the Texas Specials. First time ordering through zZounds, and I have no complaints at all about the service I received. Very Happy with this purchase!!

Classic Rock, some Blues
