I've had this guitar for about half a year and it is still as good as it was when I got it! Great versitile guitar that can play anything! The tone is AWESOME! Especially with brand new strings it sounds really aggressive! With a bit of gain it can just blow you away! Great looks to! It has good volume, too, when it's played acousticly! But, sadly, they don't make them anymore, mine is actually from the 1970s! :P If you can find one on ebay in good condition or something, then don't think twice! Get it before someone else does! You wouldn't regret it!
