I've got one of these

http://www.imuso.co.uk/ProductDetail.as ... de=EG00440

Slightly cheaper but essentially the same. The tremolo is good, although I'd recommend using Nut Sauce to help keep it lubricated at the nut and keep it in tune.

The only problem I've encountered is that because it's a proper semi (i.e. fully hollow body), it is prone to feedback at over a certain volume, but you learn to work with it.

Seems like a lot of guitar for the money!

I'd go for white though.

The best thing to do is try one out - you might get in your hands and hate it!

The sounds depend on your set up. I go for a clean-ish sound, bright and jangly but with some punch at the bottom, and just a hint of overdrive kicking in if I play it harder. But it also stands up well to full-on overdrive and whatever effects you throw at it.

Nice action, an easy neck, keeps tune well and the intonation is spot on.

cheers for that I will try one first, I have a telecaster and am happy with that but I would really like to get something completely different in every way and this seems to really fit the bill and its a decent price.I think I would probably go for the red one
