Style of Music: Dick Dale meets John Hartfeld,...no....Duane Denison vs. Hundertwasser, umm....Keith Levine dating Steve Albini's mom-yeah!

Comments: "Solid axe!", as they would've said in the Seventies, when mine was supposedly built (1978). Stock Dimarzio's are a menace; midrangey-enough to cause--crackle---crunch--hummmm-zzzzaaaap-all at the volume control, without having to walk all the way over to yer ayump!
Kinda' cobby construtzione esp. in cavity routing. Would like to replace saddles with GraphTech, but am at a loss as to whose deisgn they used.

Style of Music: Blues, Classic rock, folk rock

Comments: Not as good as my 650G, but still an excellent guitar. Nice "in between" sounds from the 5 way selecor switch, but best sounds from either the bridge pickup alone or bridge middle. Tuning stability was a bit variable until I fitted a graphite string spacer/nut in place of the aluminium original. Great guitar.

Style of Music: All kinds

Comments: Built like a tank. Looks new, and with a little care will continue to. Hot Stratish type of tone. Not noiseless like the humbucker 2000. A little neck heavy, and heavy overall. Great sounding.
