I tried one last week and I thought it looked stunning. Light obviously, being a jap fender. The tone control (for me) was far too sensitive and I found myself twiddling with them like I was trying to crack a safe. It made for very uneven volume and whilst I am sure if i had 30 mins extra, i would have gotten there. MASSIVE volume from the E string and hardly anything from the rest and visa-versa. Too much like hard work. Pretty much the anti thesis of a Nicki Sixx Signature Thunderbird
Incidentally, I had just played a Stingray, then a ray 34 and THEN the Fender and I much preferred the ray 34, which was £150 cheaper.
