I have one. It's pretty great, except the pickups are pretty bland sounding. I really want to upgrade them, not sure to what. Great and pretty guitar for the price tag.

I have one too. I don't mind the p'ups at all... a nice contrast to my other guitars in style and tone. I would love to drop in the TV Jones p'ups at somepoint though, and GuitarFetish.com has a "Retrotron" series that get good review for modders on a budget.
