A realy great looking and sounding guitar in a fantastic shade of Red. And a great neck, the wider and slimmer a neck is the better it is for me, i can't stand Fenders thick narrow necks.

The first real guitar bought for me by my parents (rip) after much hard work was a black Gibson les Paul custom, fretless wonder (which being the idiot I am I sold years ago 😭) it cost £364.

Very cool playing, I also liked the unique tone to it. Jon I've read curved fretboards are good for rhythm because it's easy to get notes playing without a lot of pressure, and also read, flat fretboards are easier to get single notes right. In your case, how would you explain your experience for flat fretboards? :). Is it because you are just not used to that flat fretboards?

This is a really strange one... The shape screams Metal, so does the thin neck... But then the radius is 15.75, which by itself isn't bad at all, but compound would have been the way to go here... Also shame the neck is unfinished wood. If it would also have been painted red, it would have been so cool.
