I wanted one of these for a while, then I got it and don't play it. Its got a great tone, all the sustain that you need. It had the nasty Stagg hiss when I got it. I took it to an electronics shop Wizz and problem solved - its clean and loud. Trades considered for: Gretsch hollow-body, Aguilar Tone Hammer +$$, a good wireless system+$$ - otherwise $700. Will send more pics if needed.
