"great deep sound"

Overall: 3.5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
This guitar has a nice rich sound. I don't think the pick ups have fantastic gain but I figured I was gonna replace them anyway. The frets are jumbo (bigger than on my texmex strat) this makes string bending a breeze. The neck is real smoothe and a good shape for ease of playing. It has one more fret than my texmex strat that costs more than double this one. I think this is a great one for beginners but if you are one to tinker with the electronics this could be a great gigging guitar.

Musical Background:
