    I must say after over 300 shows this is the one that really gets down and puts the money on the table. A great sound, a great look, and I just do not think it gets better for the guy who needs a work horse doing the work night after night. Blues Rock Jazz what can I say? I do not regret one dime of the money that I invested in this guitar. It works. Thanks Gary Lee

    when i first first picket up the BB i felt it would be a nice guitar mabey it would sound smoother then the standard but i wasnt waiting for anything out of the ordinary but when i picket up the "ebony ho" (my nickname plz dont judge it too far) i felt a power eminating like i was in a animation an energy was flowing through my hands and then all hell broke lose i found that this guitar was no ordinary guitar it was my kin the sound of the black beauty is more powerful then almost any guitar ive seen and i dont if an incident like this can be repeated for those of you who havent bought this and are looking to buy my black beauty is one of a kind

    And I owned a Jem and a V. I sold them both to be able to make payments on this beauty. And it was well worth the sacrifice.This guitar blows away all the guitars I have ever owned. And well worth the money I paid for it. If the Beauty is anywhere near this 2005? Buy it!!!
