    Default Blue Guitar









    OK so I weakened and bought this yesterday and had it delivered today. It is a Subzero Pittsburgh with EMG pickups and a locking Floyd Rose tremolo system. I didn't want yet another copy of yet another guitar so opted for this. It plays superbly and has a very thin and fast neck... Love it...!

    By the way, it was purchased from Gear4music in York at 14:30 yesterday afternoon and delivered at 10:45 this morning. That is what I call service.

    Very pretty. Makes a nice change from a strat or les paul. I have a very similar looking guitar - a Washburn Billy T10 (I think). Much more fun than HiFi

    Yes, I kind of risked a few savings buying this as I didn't try it out before buying. I appreciate what you say about the fretboard because I seriously do not like maple fingerboards so this was a definite plus point but it turns out that the neck is just so thin and fast it is a real joy to play and makes me sound like a very accomplished guitarist which I certainly am not.
