How does it play? Well, like a guitar from the 70s. There was fret buzz when I went in to get it but the guy releveled everything and it sounds great now. It's a little snotty in some places, but that's vibe/sound I'm looking for...it looks old and sounds like a smokey bar.
It's a true hollow body as well, nothing in the middle, and it's incredibly bright. The stock pickups have just enough fuziness and natural grit, so I get that "dirty clean". Best of all, the Tremolo is just wacko and crazy and I'm going to use it all the time!
I'm post a video clip of it on youtube sometime later during the week.
If you drive through San Antonio check out Krazy Kat Music! Best store ever!
