I bought this new in 2000, sunburst body with white face plate. The bridge pickup on this guitar is my favorite tone on any guitar I've played, it's been a great sounding guitar since the beginning. I did swap out the bridge pickup with a Seymour Duncan hot rails single coil humbucker back when I didn't have a second guitar to get a good heavy sound. This makes it versatile for all kinds of music, but you gotta watch the volume jump when switching from single coil to humbucker on the fly, it ramps up quite a bit. This was my first "real" guitar after learning on a cheap Ibanez electric, and I'll probably play it until the frets are shot.
