Very cool guitars, the best mix between the low growl of a les paul and the bite of a fender. Can't complain about them. They are MIM guitars, but they look like American because of the 22 frets. They were orginally $399 when they first came out 18 months ago and now their $499. Really cool guitar and you won't have to worry about hum either... I believe they also can come equipped with Floyd Rose tremolo's too.
