| WHAT OUR TEAM THOUGHT | |
This is a great guitar for the customer that wants to find something that is classic, but still feels modern and updated. The sound is great and the design is familiar and timeless. The SRT Zero Impact Guitar Pickups won’t change your guitar tone, and the guitar is built with A.R.E. (Acoustic resonance enhancement). Check out the Yamaha apx500iii thinline as an alternative. |
This is the perfect guitar for blues and rock. It sounds really good thanks to the unusual holes, and they make it look great too. We believe that this is the kind of musical instrument that you either like or dislike instantly, and most often that feeling is correct. So if you like it- go for it, you’re going to love it! |
