..or the al600

Was it that bad?  I quite like the look.
And me.

And even with the specs it has:

set neck construction 24.75" scale mahogany body (thinline body style) 3-piece mahogany neck ebony fingerboard spade inlays EMG 81 active pickups volume and tone controls w/3-way toggle chrome hardware Sperzel locking tuners TonePros locking bridge w/string-thru-body white binding on neck and headstock 24 XJ frets

Looked ok...not as pretty in person...liked the inlays, was a good neck..pickups...emg's (again what was I thinking) and was so light..they said it was mahogany...but felt more like balsa

Yeah, I like light guitars but I think sometimes they can be too light, or the timber not dense enough.  My Edwards V is a bit like that.

NOS Brimar ecc83 LABELLED 'microphonic'

Luckily enough it was just a guy selling off his Dad's collection, he did a swap pretty quick and paid me the postage as well (£1.14), which actually made my day.

My ESP SRC-7 was a pretty horrible buy, that thing just had no tone at all, the weakest sounding guitar I've ever played.. and apparently, they are all like that. It was so bad I thought it was a lemon.. sold it in less than 10 days ahah

Digitech GSP2101 - I have a twin tubes which sounds great, I thought the 2101 would be a more powerful version of the twin tube with more effects, etc.  Instead it is a wimped out version.  Yes there are more effects, but the overall sound is cr@p.
So many pickups, so little time

Vox snake charmer compresser.  Might me ok for snake charming but not ok for music.  Boss cs3 compressor blew it away and I do not like that much.
