Unlike the striped 5150 and Frankestrat, I never cared much for the music man or peavey Eddie van Halen models but a while ago  a guy offered me this one for a real bargain. Spare parts I thought but when plugged in I realised this baby burns, great sound and playability and build like a rock. ( the chunky neck can be used as a baseballbat as well ) So much for spareparts ....
