What's special about this item?

Feature: What it does:
Alder body Light weight with a wide tonal range

I have several Custom Shop guitars from fender, Gibson and epiphone. I got this lead3 and am blown away!! What a GREAT guitar! It’s now my favorite. You can toggle any tone you want from it! It’s way beyond my expectations. It’s supposed to be an entry level guitar, but it would be at home on any stage.
