Back when I was guitar-crazy (a year ago haha!) I was about to buy one. But I wanted to hear how it sounded. So I asked and no one had any idea so I held off and got a ‘62 Twin instead!

It's out of my price range but man....it looks and sounds great with those coils split! This video instantly makes me want it. — _ Hi, I'm Gellert, guitarist for The Fintastics. https://www.facebook.com/TheFintastics Top

I’d vastly prefer clean classical or flamenco style to that wanky rock style. I didn’t watch the whole thing though, does he get nice and clean ever? I meant for you to post some samples with your legit surf style! — Daniel Deathtide Top
