About this instrument

This beautiful guitar does sound really good with its patent sticker PAFs. It doesn't sound as good as my PRS SC-J though. And it doesn't play as well either. I find the super narrow width of the nut clumsy for me to play. Yes the neck is fast but it just feels off to me with that little fretboard width. And the stereo output jack is something that absolutely wasn't needed for this guitar. But its beauty is well established. And if you weren't the wiser, you'd love how it sounds. I sold this one.
