The Mercedes of Electric Guitars

Right out of the case this guitar was a dream come true. I had an original Country Gentleman I bought on Rush Street in Chicago in 1963. I sold that gem in 71, and for 38 years I looked for its replacement. This guitar has a neck that is thin, neat, clean and plays like a dream. It took 10 minutes out of the case to tweak a few things,tune it and go. The range of tones is unbelievable. Play whatever you want from rock to blues. No matter which amp I used, no matter how much overdrive or effects I used, the sound was pure, clean, and above all it was fun to play. The first night I played it for 5 hours, and went to work the next day about playing it again that night. It is truly a gem. I have Les Pauls, Strats, and vintage acoustics, but this guitar combines all that I love in guitars.
