Anyone have or played one? Impressions?

All the reviews I've found rate it quite high. I have a chance of getting one locally for $300-350.

I have one & played it....

3/4 neck is different but nice once you get used to it.

Jumbo frets make it play like a Les Paul.

Grover Tuners are solid.

Thru body string routing adds sustain.

the HumBucker pickups make it growl(in a good way)...

My kid likes to play it with the E dropped to D.

I forget the name of a current band that fronts this guitar...

I give it an 8+ out of 10...

($300 or less would be a fairly good deal)

GREAT guitar! And that's a great price. I'd grab it if it were me.

Thanx for the responses. I hope to check it out tomorrow.

BTW, it's the 'black cherry' finish. Looks very sweet...
