Good Points

Good quality guitar.
Excellent finish.
'57 Classic PAF Humbuckers. What's not to like?


Bad Points

The headstock looks a little cheesy, with the decal instead of inlay, but that's what you get for a grand!


General Comments

I can get some of the best blues tone out of this guitar! Honking harmonic distortion and shimmering high end! It stays in tune like a rock! I play it through an early '59 Bassman reissue that I've tubed down with a 12AT7 in the output stage. Straight through is that killer clean tone, and for just a little crunch I use a Boss Blues Driver, and it's a "stop it, you're killing me" tone!!
