These blacktops are a great value.

PROS: Great bodies and the necks are awesome.They are supposed to be american stock and really look and feel better than mexi standard.My neck has atleast 16-20 birdseyes.The rosewood frettboard although very dry was very pretty with lots of striations.It took 5-6 liberal applications of fret honey as the rosewood was thirsty!!! Frets were really dressed nice with no ends sticking out so I might or might not touch them.

CONS: I have heard good things on the pups but they are chinese branded s.d. design and ive seen these in the cheaper epi models and washburn and sub $300 dollar guitars.IMHO the pots unmarked switch/jack are chinese garbage below mexi standard.I have had standards come with cts pots and better switches/jacks.If it works for you thats great but they are not up to my standards personally speaking. Tuners are fender marked and are mexi standard !!! Thanks guys for the comments!!
