The tone is bright and crisp, with an underlying depth, plus great sustain. At 31 years old the guitar has matured really well, and is in good condition, just a few nicks and dings. The neck feels good, and the action is comfortable. The guitar has an active LR Baggs pickup system fitted, and comes in it’s original hard case.
