Good choice.  Just check the joins in the body wood first.  See if Coda will email you a better picture.  Some guitars have REALLY badly mis-matched joins and it looks really naff.

Pick it up cheap now, add Riff Raffs later  ;)

Some of the Vintage guitars are amazing value for money. Last year I got a new Les Paul Gold Top on offer reduced from £229 to £129 and replaced the Wilkinson pickups with BKP P91s. For the price the build quality was good - feel and playability is not too far away from my Gibson LP Standard and of course the sound with the P91s is excellent. (slight problem with the bridge pickup routing being a little tight).

Getting up to 3, 4 and 500 and more, Dean, Ibanez, schecter, maverick, jackson, the usual contenders start to get pretty good, but for £200 the pacifica 12x's havnt been topped by anyone, for my money.
