Style of Music: Alt/poppunk
Comments: Just got one, in Seafoam Green. Workmanship is as expected, top notch. Interestingly, very hot J style pickups. Sound is amazing! Strung with D'Addario XL-165s it sounds modern yet deep. One very cool tone can be gotten by turning the bridge pickup up full, turn the neck pickup down full, and roll the tone knob counterclockwise to cut most of the treble.
You get a sound that is like a Ric, but cooler and distinctly not Ric.
Shame the company never was able to hang on. The Gen X would have been a huge winner. Only between 5 and twenty were ever produced.
