Yeah, why's it gone?  And what's replacing it?

do not is say do not even look at them they are awful, play great but sound like shite, because plexiglass is thin but wieghs a lot, the alder etc thin..no sustain to them..very thin sounding.. pickup was done by Dan armstrongs son..kent so have a handwired a4 (also have a p90 and high gain that came with) they are a definate try before you buy some love the plexi some hate..if ever near Hull you free to give a try

i'll keep all that in mind. the white/ash/maple board one *looks* cool it least. too bad the sound is bad.

The Sash etc ones, I wanted the deep, boom you get with one dirty but the white one did not deliver are nice but very light, remind of a superstrat sound wise
