Has solid Mahogany body, set neck, and nice pickups. The one I bought had only 2 knobs that were push-pull for volume and tone one each pickup. I wasn't wild about not being able to adjust both so i added a third knob and used 2 standard knobs as volume for bridge and neck and then wired the push-pull as a tome pot for coil tapping. I can get ANY sound I want form it now. Fender Strat to Gibson Les Paul

This thing was awesome out of the box. The mahogany body has tone even without power (The sign of a truly well made instrument!) Get one and you might not play anything else.

This guitar is in the middle hundreds of dollars and plays like a Gibson worth thousands. Save your money for beer and women and buy this guitar instead!

Overall, except for the change in potentiometers, this is now my "go to " axe. I even play it more than my REAL fender tele with Semour duncans in it. (Don't get me wrong... I still LOVE my tele, but this one is now more versitile and so gets more attention)
