i know it's kind of an old thread, but i just wanted to say that the longer i have this guitar, the more i love the sound of it. i get pretty nice cleans from the roland cube no matter what i'm playing, but this guitar really sounds good, and the knobs are probably the most linear i have ever encountered. i can get alot of different sounds from this guitar. but it still makes me want a tube amp for the gritty side. it would be nice to play my roxbury on as well. i've pretty muched talked myself into shopping for that sometime after christmas. i really dig the sound of this guitar.
