One of ny fav guitars. Although made in japan not the usa this guitar kicks most usa models to the curb. Increasingly harder to get. Action is the lowest ive ever seen. And every note sings. The neck is c shaped modern and u can easily access any note or chord. The tremolo is the original german made schaller and is as good as or better than any floyd rose. I put this guitar on par with the usa pro soloist models. Its that good. I used too drool at the one my guitar teacher used when i was just a teenager probably 14 year old in 1992. They sold for $1149 dollars new in 1989. I found one the same as my hero my guitar teachers in 2012. Paid $1000 for it. I now see them listed from $2000 to $4000 depending on the condition. I wouldnt sell mine for less than $5000 and that may seem harsh but its worth that to me. As id have to replace it with a usa jackson soloist. And id still regret selling it. Basically if u find one at the right price buy it. You wont be dissapointed.
