Well this guitar comes from a players pack, but I just got the guitar at GC for $49.00. It plays like a dream after a little fret work and intonation. The pickups are a little thin, but not bad. It has the full size body a big plus for me. It has the small headstock also a plus as I just like the look. Not a big fann of the boat paddle headstock (not that there's anything wrong with them, just a personal preference). The shell pickguard and backplate are stunning very sixities. There's not much information about them available. So any input would be great. Most of what I found out is from the Start-Talk post I made a few days ago. It goes to band practice today for the first time, that will be a true test (the drummer hates my Epi Les Paul Studio, so she will be brutally honest). I think the player packs are a great idea for beginners and some pearls can be found in these oysters (I think this is one).
