I've had it for 15 years and I'm still happy.
Sound
Mine is about 15 years old. I have the original pickup system which is not quite as fancy as the current models. I love this guitar. It has great action and sound. It is best sounding hot, but great not as well. A frined of mine who is a long time accomplished guitarist remarked to me that when he heard it he was surprised it sounded so good. He thought it was a really nice guitar.
