This guitar is truly beyond belief. I have had one for a number of years now. It is beyond the dollar value. (used prices vary anyway). The guitar design is nearly perfect (it has Seymour Duncan Set Lover .. mellow . pickups ) and a very fast fret board. It is beautiful (gorgeous finish). It has a hollow body sound (and the tailpiece places the stress at the end of the guitar not in its top) so that makes the sound JAZZ! (but it will play Jerry Lee Lewis or Bill Haley or 12 bar BLUES) It will mix with any band combo (accordion, horns, keyboards) and back up the greatest vocalist. It is a country guitar too. All you have to do it dial in the preference. I cannot express my appreciation for this guitar. It's outside the envelope .. perfect. I am glad I have one.
