Title: Tuscany guitars...
Post by: th3sku11 on May 01, 2010, 10:43:43 AM: Anyone know anything about these?

Been thinking about some sort of floyd equipped Les Paul on and off for a while and these seem reasonably priced...

Post by: dave_mc on May 01, 2010, 03:04:08 PM: there was a thread on them at musicradar, i think. if i remember correctly (i haven't tried them myself), someone thought they were the usual mid-range style guitars- you'd definitely want to try them first, kind of thing.
