I'm real picky when I go in to a Guitar Center or used guitar shop, I have played hundreds of guitars and just not impressed, not this time I'm blown away, this guitar is special, simply one of the best guitars I have ever played. I like to shred Steve Vai, Vh, Paul Gilbert,Vito Bratta,Jimmy Page, I do lots of Warren de Martini and this guitar screams the 80's with huge stain this guitar dose it all really.

It had a bolt-on neck (albeit with an upsidedown head) and the body was very slab-like, not nicely contoured like the deluxe. It had two humbuckers, and tone-wise was very muddy. I expect the pickups were designed for those into shredding and low riffage, but for me the sound was quite vile. I soon realised that the 7th string was nothing more than a gimmick and didn't really inspire me to make new and interesting compositions and sold it on to another curious person on eBay.Gavin Lloyd Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10937598384359522498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3734566.post-7987322819630209752012-11-26T10:29:08.552+00:002012-11-26T10:29:08.552+00:00This is the Stagemaster HSH deluxe.

I had one of the HH versions in cobalt blue pass through the workshop recently. Mine had enclosed humbuckers of squier origin in them but I don't think they where original. I can confirm it's a very nice guitar. solid as a rock. Bomb proof finish. nice neck perhaps a bit on the chunky side considering it's intended market. Floyd works well and the tuning is stable. I have seen these go for very little money on Ebay UK. and they are uncommon. I'm not a green guitar fan but that is a lovely colour.Antonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07074911783665849229noreply@blogger.com
