Sound Pure's Take
Condition: Used, Excellent
SP Luthier Notes: Our luthier performed cosmetic work in the form of a dropfill on the bass side lower bout of the guitar, by the arm contour. No further work was required.
This is a surprising guitar that defies expectations. First and foremost, it's a shred machine with a sound that'll kick like a bull - but the beauty of this guitar lies in its simplicity. With a turn of the single volume knob and well placed positioning of the picking hand, you can get almost jazzy and clean spank that you'd otherwise find in more single-coil oriented counterparts. It sounds equally good clean as it does dirty, and when you hit this thing with some gain there is nowhere to hide from the doom-laden, paint-peeling sounds you'll get. Sometimes the simplest guitars are the most fun, and this is a perfect example of that rule. Don't miss this one!
