I am sort of mixed mind about the look, but for sure, they scream 60s!

I know the pickups get blasted as being week, but I thought the guitar sounded a great deal like my jazzmaster, but just a bit more mellow. Walk Don't Run never sounded better from my fingertips...and I was playing through a Hot Rod Deluxe sans tank.

Any of you have issues with the balance when standing? Seemed a little neck heavy, though not as bad as an SG.

Never been an issue, although I use a leather strap, which clings to ones' body a little more than them cheaper ones made of seatbelt-like material. I do know folks with Coronado basses that had balance issues, but that's a lot more neck to deal with.
