This is really a great guitar for what a Chinese Squire costs. Word is that Bradley guitars are Japanese made and they did Teles, Strats and the likes too. This is a straight up copy of a Rickenbacker 330. It is a set neck and hollow just like a real Ric. It does not have the tiny and thin/narrow neck coated with Poly like Ricks do. This feels more like the size and feel of an American Strat or similar. For me its easy to play with my big hands.
Someone at some point moved the upper strap button and left a hole unfilled. The new button is perfectly stable too. There is just an ugly, yet fairly inconspicuous hole that needs to be mentioned. There are a couple of small scratches behind the headstock that are small and noticeable when you start looking for them, but again nothing all that bad.
Overall this guitar is a solid 8.5 of 10 and absolutely looks stellar. It plays in tune and sounds great. If I were to keep it I would want to have the action lowered a touch to my liking, but it plays great and sounds great.
The last owner told me the the bridge pickup is an actual Rickenbacker hot bridge pickup. It reminds me of a P-90 with a little more sparkle. The neck PUP is a toaster style and sounds nice as well.
Let me know if you want more pics. I'd like $300 shipped and PayPal. NO TRADES PLEASE. No case, but will be packed VERY well.
LASTLY... GO FALCONS!!!!
