From the real McCoy, Miss Alma McCoy. Same teacher as Lloyd Green, same time, but different results. I went on to become an Electrical Engineer. I still play for the same reason I started and that is for personal satisfaction.

Dan,
I can't say that it was or was not offered as the 'Pioneer' in kit form. But your post was correct in that it was a production guitar and is a student model.

Gordy,
Pics look identical to Dekley 'Renegade' Model 001. Mine has three pedals and three knees and is setup like Herby Wallace's E9 copedant.

Bill Duve,
Check that the download has the the right size when it completes. My first try gave the guitarmap.exe but it was short on size and wouldn't install, gave the Win32 App message. Second try worked fine.
