EMail : AlmnSquid@aol.com Dispite my friends making fun of it and is slighltly crappy pickup if works fine for me. I got it for Christmas last year instead of an Ibanez GSR205 and played it that way for about a month then the tone stopped working so I took it out.Then the P-style p/u stopped working so I took it and the Volume control for it out.Which,in turn,skrewd the volume for the Jazz up so it was also removed.It sounds and plays good with a light body and a ROUND hollow kind of sound dispite looking like somebody dragged it down the road a couple of times behind a truck.Right now I'm saving to get a Seymour Duncan to really bring the sound out of my flatwounds.
