No and for those who don't know what that sounds like here it is:

But I like the tone of the new just the same. Heard a guy at GC play a classic Phil Keaggy on one of these through a Fender Twin Reverb and "OH MAN" did it sound sweet. So I thought to myself "Self" cause that's what I call myself. "If this guy can play it like that then I know "I" can find someone else who can play it like that too"

And I would be willing to trade a perfectly good Peavey Semi-hollow for it too! {hint..hint...}
