yeah i know the 99 dollar one.I have it,and surprisingly it's a pretty serviceable guitar for the price.Cheap cheap parts that fall apart too easily though. I HAVE used it on some recordings though,and i have to say that the sustain was incredibly THICK even with the one humbucker.It does make a difference when you wanna beef up your sound for riffs as opposed to having a single-coil strat like i also have.Feels nothing like a gibson,doesn't really play like one(except for the thick rhythm sound on a very high-gain amp)but is an ok spare guitar to have around when you need to lay down a quick metal riff and don't have a more expensive axe at your leisure
