Bought mine for £199 and got a decent leather strap thrown in. This was back in 2001, though. Treated myself while I was still at school and had just done well in my exams. It's green.

I keep telling myself I'm going to get it some extra guards made up, one tort with just a hotrail at the neck like the Courtney Love's that I remember seeing in a magazine as a kid and maybe a regular plain white one as I don't like pearl guards.

As for the guitar itself, it's quite heavy and a bit lifeless, in honest truth. Though I've done nothing to it since I bought it so it's probably long overdue a fettle which might bring it back to life.

If nothing else it's solidly built and looks wicked cool.
