Lovely guitar - set up nicely - rings out nicely acoustically. I will replace the Bigsby B70 with a B3/30 - the B70 seems a bit too heavy and cumbersome for the size of the guitar (Les Paul size). Great feeling bound neck, with thumbnail inlays - Good pickups and controls - love the master volume. Decent tuners, but will replace with Grover Statites. Had many guitars - this is a 'keeper' - love the feel of it....may refinish in the future - amber, orange or even sunburst...then it'd get 5 stars from me!
