Review - Please try to include as many specific details as you can: Wow, nicetone for RnB/Rock -n- roll stuff. Excellent sustain in the highs, great solid hold on the lows. Great feel for base lines. Really a head turner with beautiful dice inlays on neck. I don't use the tremolo much. Picks up are good all around the sound that this guitar can produce. Great buy for the money.

Review - Please try to include as many specific details as you can: I always liked the way this guitar looked so I figured I'd get one. This thing sounds great. Excellent jazz sound from the neck p.u.and the bridge p.u. rocks with the best of them. More comfortable to play then a 335 with the full tone. The dice knobs take a little getting used to but I leave all the controls full and just use the master volume on the cutaway. The only thing I had to do was glue the knos to the support that goes on to the controls and switch. I played it at the local blues jams and thought I was going to get some grief about playing such a loud looking guitar but I was suprized. All the guitar heads knew what it was and said nothing but good things about it.Kind of makes it valid, ya know? They might not remember your name but they'll remember the guy that played the flame guitar so you'd better play good!
Rating (On a Scale of 1-10): 10
Additional Comments/Final Verdict: My Gibsons, Fenders and PRS are sitting in tne closet. You tell me.
