I almost picked one of those up last year, but they were out by the
time I went for it. Did you get the one with the P90's or the Dream
180's?

Surprisingly, the intonation on mine seems pretty close to dead-on,
even with those vintage saddles. This is my third guitar from GFS,
and only 1 out of 3's turned out to be a fixer-upper.

================================================

Mine has the 180s in it, and I kind of wished that one of them were tapped
or that I'd goine with something that has a single coil on it.

The rythym pickup has an incredible amount of bass to it, as in
overpowering, so I rarely use it by itself. The middle position is used
when I want clean, and the down position for lead-type stuff and for when
I'm using the distortion pedal.

AS with all my guitars, I replaced the strap button with straplocks, and I
needed to use toothpicks and wood glue to keep the locks in place as the
screw provided with the locks was a bit smaller than the original screws
used. And, because the original strap button screws were tapered, I
caouldn't use those screws with the straplocks.

So, my experience with this has been: Straight out of the box, three tuners
would barely turn. I can't get the intonation set exactly as I want it, and
the strap button holes are larger than normal because of the screws that are
used. My dilema is: Do I change the tuners before I sell it on Craigslist?
