Fantastic guitar, a genuine improvement on the previous model, and new case ..... wow!
Careful if you want one of the new transparent finishes though, I bought 'Sienna Sunburst' and I had to look at six guitars before I found one with a decent finish, some were awful. Don't buy online, you need to see the ACTUAL guitar you are buying.
It's a great new spin on a classic. I prefer the thinner neck varnish on the 2003 models though...
