Got a killer deal on this from Sweetwater, due to a couple finish issues and a personal request for an even lower price...so I jumped. I can't wait to hear the chorus of "NO" when I post the progress pix of what I plan on doing to it. Let's just say that I don't care for Joe Bonamassa, natural finishes, or poly finishes, and to me, it's nothing but an affordable way into a '50s style V body with nicer specs than the Epi '58 Korina model.
It'll be my first V. I have wanted one for a while...but I was picky about specs. It had to be '50s style, but they are few and far between, and expensive. The Epi '58 Korina wasn't quite nice enough for what I wanted (I have played several over the years, and was never impressed by them). This one has everything I want...except the finish...but it's not so nice and expensive that I mind doing some major mods to it.
