    Cool design, but that volume knob seems to be misplaced.
    I can't say that I've given up on a flanger cause I've never liked the effect either. I also can't say the same about Tremolo. I hate them both equally. - Tone2TheBone 2009

    Rondo has had this model for a while. I read some of the reviews of it and am pretty confident about staying away from it.
    I do like the old style Jaguar type tremolo though. Reminds me of the 64 I used to have.

    Cranium!
    Glad that you posted that. That model has gotten great reviews in the past. They stopped carrying it for at least 2 years now.
    I hope this one is as good as the last because it was a winner.

    Not trying to be gross, but the body shape looks like the kidnet stone I passed a few years ago. I'm temped to give one a try, but I'd cut the body up a bit and reshape it.

    That's the link Cranium posted. The last run of those were pretty good from what I have heard.

    Just ordered a Floyd Rose equipped SST in Vintage White. Hopefully it will look like Rob's bananna color!

    I'll do my usual overkill review... don't you worry! It's on its way today according to FedEx. I'll take some pics as I did with my blue SST if I can find my camera this evening.

    Naa! From the reviews I've seen those p-90's are weak.

    Weird body shape-really unsightly, if you ask me, and yes, the pickups look like P-90s, but they don't sound much like a P-90 should.

    They actually don't sound bad. I don't hate mine.
