What is wrong with it
I was supposed to come home with an HSS Strat. But they all sucked and this was the only guitar I played today that I liked.


It's this guitar:

Just put 10's on it and it's already a little better.

I could see myself looking into better wide range pickups if this guitar stays in rotation. It's cool, but I'm sure it could killer.

EDIT: I do really dig the neck pickup. It's what sold me on the guitar And I've never had wide-range pickups before so maybe I just need to get used to them.

Curtis Novak makes an awesome wide range pickup if ever decide to swap them
