They are very well regarded, as are all the ATKs. Extremely versatile but can be heavy as they are large bodied. There is a review of one in the user review section. They are discontinued model so grab a good example when you can. It is also worth looking at the 300, and even the 700 if you want something a bit posher. Anyhow I best be quiet as I have a ATK 700 in the for sale section. There are also ATK 800s in there too, which are very desirable if you are looking to spend a bit more. Beware of some of the newer ATK clones by Ibanez which look similar but are different beasts.
