Anyone know anything about this discontiuned guitar? Decent? Crap? Those jumo frets, are they insanely large? That kinda thing bugs me.
Thanks all,
Jon

I understand that, but sometimes they are so obsecenly large that they have a parodoxical effect at least in my hands. My ? is, are they at least similar to what you'd find on your standard Les Paul or SG.

well, I bought one without ever having played one. Was just drawn to the bright green and simplicity, as well as the 25.5" neck scale.

Oh yeah, just remember one thing if you're considering buying it. There is inly one pickup, and that's a Seymor Duncan SH-6 Dist. Pickup. So the guitar does not work that well on a clean channel, But is tears of body parts on the Distortion channel!

Its a good guitar. It feels a little cheaper than a gibson but still pretty solid. The neck is quite wide and is a U shape which is a little flat in the back, I kinda like that. The green looks awesome too (if you like green). You would probably want to change the pickup as it's a duncan designed.

Yeah, I'm looking for gain mostly and just expecting solid performance, no frills with this one. Thanks for everyone chiming in. I'll let you know what I think when I get it.

Im looking at the MC-600 as its real cheap near me at the moment, if it didnt have the Soulfly inlays id take one and re finish it and put a EMG 85 in the bridge, but since its only £30 cheaper than a SG special id probably get a SG special and totally mod the heck out of it for probably less money.

So I got this guitar, and it's ok. Pickup kinda cheap though. One thing also that really sucks is that it's neck heavy. The guitar strap button is in the back like the SG. WOuld it make a huge difference if I moved it to the end of the top horn? Otherwise, I'm just gonna ship it back.
Thanks for the help
