Thanks. As Krashpad alluded to in his JR thread, the finish will prolly wear easily - that might be the only con to these value series guitars. The pros are kick *** pickups, electronics, and the 50s neck (I like chunkier necks). They also have the vintage kluson tuners that I prefer. The biggest plus though, at least for me, is they are weight-relief chambered and easy on this old man's back.
