Had one of these Guitars in the 80s wish i had of kept it, loved it, an affordable super strat.

Brilliant electric for beginners yes it's heavy but that's a good sign of a solid long-lasting hard wearing body and a maple neck I got mine in the early 1980s and learnt to play a guitar with it I love that guitar and it's travelled with me all around the world its neck bowed once but it was my own fault for leaving it for months at my parents home, when I picked it up someone had placed it too near the radiator. I soon fixed that with a little adjustment on the truss rod and it was back to factory specifications the only thing wrong with it is the bridge is a little too close to the neck (millimetres too close) but I'm on with moving it back at the moment but still a best buy for the money with years of enjoyment after purchase. I think it's as good as any Strat and sounds better than Ibanez. I have used a great value guitar that will last for years. I got mine whilst in college and still have it coming up to my retirement 40 years later now who won't buy something cheap and long lasting like a sidewinder very durable at an excellent price. Yes they are made in Korea but who gives a a damn, they are so good I cannot say a bad thing about them so I gave you a life story instead. I call mine my baby and its lasted longer than my relationships.

Brilliant budget guitar back in the 80's. Only needed a small amount of setting up straight out of the box. Lovely feel, action and tone, the only drawback is it was backachingly heavy
