My first 'real' electric guitar. I still have it (2019) and it has become a bit of my own "frankenstein" guitar. But as much as I enjoy the tones come out of it, imagine my surprise that when i stripped the silver flake finish off to reveal THE BODY IS MADE OF PLYWOOD. Now I am much more mindful when shopping for cheaper imitation models, such as the Music Man Axis, IF THE GUITAR DESCRIPTION DOES NOT MENTION WHAT KIND OF BODY WOOD IT IS, IT'S LIKELY PLYWOOD.
