wck: I do find the stack concentric knobs quite a hassle for me to play around with cos if i were to adjust the bottom knob, the top one will move as well which can be quite frustrating. I hope to change the pots to just one master volume and one master tone. The clean sounds are awesome and the dirty sounds don't sound too shrill or trebly esp on the bridge pickup. I found out that the bridge pup is actually wound to higher output. I'd say this guitar can do it all for alternative rock, blues, 50s/60s rock n roll and classic rock. It won't do metal though
