I picked up one of these badboys a while back and it is one of the best musical purchases that I've ever made. You would be hard pressed to find an instrument that sounds and looks this good anywhere, especially at this price! I also like the looks that people give me when I pull this out on a gig! ("What in the heck....") Best wishes, Mr. Joseph!
