Nigel, it's very bright sounding. Sort of retro. Needs a little adjustment in the set-up. Mainly, it's just COOL!
The really good sounding one is the beautiful Guild x-150 I got this week. Blond-one humbucker. They quit making them a while back. This one is perfect. I have an X-500, which is similar, with 2 pick-ups, but this one is just pure delight for a jazz hard-liner.
Man, I love my guitars!
