This thing is fabulous...very different from any other guitar i own. It's lightweight, sounds fantastic and plays like a dream. I really enjoy the pu's on this guitar. You can use the separate, very responsive, volume & tone controls for each pickup to dial in almost any sound you need. When you combine both pickups there are endless sonic possibilities. It might look like a cheaply made guitar at first....but as soon as it's plugged in and you'r holding it, it's in a very different league. Worth every penny of the cost. Excellent buy!
