Best thing a guitarist can do is figure out which width pick suits you best. 0.6-1 mm helps the fretting hand remember. I leave 1.5 mm picks for bass players. Using the correct picks lessens frustration while doing sweeps and scales You are really really good playing! Fun to listen to your playing!!

Hi shreeder ....Thank you ...lWatched this and I bought it ....awesome guitar ....looked very well made neck great radius comfortable ....thank you also about 3 months ago ...I bought the MXR fat sugar because the demo you did had it and a boost pedal thar sounded extremely close to the sound of Eric Johnson the other pedals in the review were a tc nova and a a pedal called fat sugar booster with reverb ... It's 200 ...I really can't afford that pedal I need to find a boost little less expensive lol but that demo and song were awesome really sounder awesome ....BTW my guitar was 159.00 plus free shipping and a 15.00 bonus discount basically 154.00 A STEAL thank you again ...

I snagged one in purple. Everything is great except the pickups. Just a nit pick but I loved how the photo online showed the back as purple which helped to finalize my decision but the one sent to me has a black back. It might be purple but is so dark as to look black. Not the end of the world. Change PUs, tuners and strings of course and this guitar is a steal as said previously. I'm gonna sand the neck down eventually. Thanks for the hook-up Baldshredder!

@2bikemikesguitartopics145 10 месяцев назад

Baldy, I went to jump on it, but read the description first. The top is a photo print, but looks good. Neck is mahogany with maple fingerboard. That makes it jatoba. With weak buckers and likely sloppy tuners is why its cheap. But, true, good body/neck bones allow for upgrades to make it way better. I decided it is not worth it for me to also make a trip Stateside to get it.
