I'd go for a Charvel off ebay if you fancy that. Mine was only about £180 and played really nice. I only sold it because I dont really like superstrats much any more and I think I may have just got a bad piece of wood, it always sounded scooped and a bit fizzy but then I guess thats the 80s tone anyway :lol: :P

Alright I know I said one pickup but this for £380 brand new has to be the bargain of the century, surely???

Yeah, me too!

It's made in Japan(!) and has genuine Duncan pickups (JB/Jazz) which I can sell to fund BKPs. I'm thinking this is a no-brainer...

It's their FLoyd licenced trem.  JT580 I think.  I have one on another guitar and it's not bad.  Not as sensitive as an Ibanez Edge, but that can be good if you're a heavy player like me...

they were going for about £320 on thomann a while back, but i think they're more expensive now.

The one i tried was alright, but i didn't think it was anything to write home about to be honest. looks badass, of course.
