"This guitar is ALIVE !"
Verified Purchaser
zZounds has verified that this reviewer purchased this specific product from us.
Unmatched tone. Ive got some very expensive guitars that dont sound this good. Plugged into a Cameltoe od going into a Fender TwinReverb Tonemaster...and wow !! The guitar came flawless and well packed. I worked on set up last night and this morning to get the neck adjustment just right and action is perfect. Tried some sweet jazz but it wasnt untill I dug in and started beatin on this thing and wow She Rocks She screams and looks great doing it. After a long 4 hour jam this morning She broke in a bit and just started being too sweet! Feedback is not a problem at all and when it does feedback you can control it with the tremolo and sound very very alive. Buy this guitar now,You will love it. Be ready to do a set up if it passes thru extreme climate changes. A set up is like wippin Your but...everyone should do their own.
