These models were the best of the early style slimline models. They are quality construction and are fun to play. the pickups are nice and bright and the neck plays smooth. A nice addition to any collection if you like these styles. 8) 8) 8) :up: :up: :up: :up: :look: :look: :look: :look: :look: :look:

this one was relisted at a lower price, and I can second the fact that the neck is very smooth and comfy :)

I've never seen a case like this one. it's a new one, but it's like a hard sided Gig bag. nice plush interior, but the outside is zippered cordura looking stuff...

Looks like a Gator brand case. Very nice cases made of nylon with ballistic material inside the case as a liner to procted the guitar. They are lightweight and almost as hard as a regular hard case.

when I move the trem arm, it slightly moves the whole assembly... it's not fully tuned yet, and it's missing the high E, so I suppose with all 6 strings and a proper tune it would be less likely to move?
