Well I had traded my black one in to fund a Vela, then I realized hey....I don't have a gigger in my collection so after going through a player strat hss....and couple of Charvels...not bad but not me ( I'm a 70s and 90s rock guy) I saw a used one up on their site and snagged it before one of you guys do! They look great on stage and stay tune all nite....what more can you ask for....lol
