Bought this guitar for £330 brand new, £70 less that the usual selling price. They do say indians are the best at bartering ;) This guitar was great straight out of the box. The pickups can cope with everything from metal to jazz and sound amazing. The spalted maple is truely beautiful. Running down the centre of mine is what looks like an arrow formation in the wood grain which looks really cool. Even my mum commented on how amaazing it looks and my sisters named her Francesca or Frankie for short. Buy this guitar, it's amazing, better than most guitars twice it's price and definitly the best in it's class. Buy one before Michael Kelly realises he's selling these too cheap and up's the price!!! The guitar has 22 medium jumbo frets and the neck profile is a shallow C shape. It has a fairly fast neck and it a joy to play. The volume and tone controls are very responsive and the humbuckers are coil tapped so you can get great single col tones when you need them. I actually prefer to play using both pickups but with the bridge coil tapped. I used to only play neck or bridge on all my other guitars but this gives me great other options. I can even make it sound acoustic like. This has ever feature you could want for this price and the hardware feels solid. 10. Set up fairly well out of the box but included in my warranty is free set ups so I may take advantage of that next time I change strings to those I prefer instead of the stock ones. The buckers are silent but as you would expect when in single coil mode you get slight hum but this isnt annoying in any way, and because I combine and humbucker with a single coil I dont get any hum. I would definatly depend on this guitar. Its my new workhorse and is making my tele custom slightly redundant. 10. This is way underpriced for what you get. Im actually thinking of buying more guitars from this range for example the p90 loaded versions. 10. Im very happy with this. I love it sooo much :)
