Love this guitar, but had to make a couple of changes. It shouldn't have 250 pots for the humbucker and the switch felt really clunky. Plays great and sounds great now.

A "Must have Guitar"

If you can only have one electric guitar, this is probably the one you need to have. It can handle all genres and styles of music you might play. You don't see a whole lot of these around and I find that original parts are also hard to find. But if you get this guitar setup by a professional, you will have yourself a tremendous, workhorse guitar. It's tough, looks and sounds fabulous and if you learn how to utilize the pickup selector along with the tone and volume controls, you can create some very diverse and sounds. I am totally pleased with mine. Maybe, it's because it's my first "real" electric guitar. (You know, your first love is special!) But at any rate, I wouldn't trade mine for anything. l get the traditional tele twang when I want it to a sweet mellow tone from the humbucker. What else can you want from an electric guitar. It holds its tuning exceptionally well and the versatility can't be beat. An exceptional instrument well worth the street price.
