Initial Tone Report:
Well, when I e-mailed Eric with my first impressions it was merely a one word review that read..."Grinder".
As in meat grinder. This is a mean sounding guitar, I'm talking down right rotten and nasty.
The neck is full and thick while still maintaining articulation, and the bridge is just pure rock n roll. When blending the two it's an endless mix from throaty to smooth.
I'm actually really looking forward to reading Eric's review of this one, I predict it'll be a colorful one.
Thank you Eric, time to start making sausages :b
