UTILIZATION
This guitar is so fun to play! The neck has a shorter scale of 24" - shorter than most Gibsons by a full three quarters of an inch. The balance is great, and the guitar is very light. Basically, this feels like an old Mustang, yet sounds like an old Telecaster Deluxe, which kind of sounded like a Les Paul. The best of all worlds!
SOUNDS
The pickups sound great plugged in to a clean amp - tons of clarity, warmth, and note bloom. The pickups didn't respond super well to high-gain, but with a bit of crunch, the notes pop out like the puppets in a Whack-a-Mole game! The neck pickup especially sings.
OVERALL OPINION
Obviously this is no shred axe, so the fleet-fingered may want to consider another guitar. But for the bluesy oriented, or classic rock jammers, or even alternative/indie rock - this is a great guitar, and unlike anything else out there. This would have been one of Kurt Cobain's favorite guitars if it was around in the 80s and 90s, but then again, I could see someone like Jonny Lang playing this guitar as well. A cool axe, for sure!
