I reckon they're actually one of the better recent releases. I'd definitely go with the blue or orange, and a floyd... whats not to like?
So, is that low alcohol or no alcohol at all? mmmm, no alcohol, do you want to try it? Noooooooooo.

Only if you try and grease them... strap locks are not part of your world then eh?

a guitar that comes with a floyd and strap locks as standard.... bastards!
