Hi from Carl....Long Island , NY.
No stranger to TA guitars, I owned quite a few thu-out the 90's. Each one exceptional.
I'm primarily a Strat guy. I own varius Fenders, as well as a Baker, but for the last year I really was jonesing to get another TA.
I've also been thru all the usual suspects as well in the last decade or so, but had fond memories of my TA's and kept my eyes open.
What I finally bought was this guy. The guitar is a dream...in the tones that it gets, the light weight, as well as it's beauty.
The really cool thing is that right out of the case the trussrod, action, etc....the things I check, were right on to what I set my guitars to, so it KILLS right out of the case. It has surpassed my expectations, and like all gear rats, I'm looking for another!! Maybe a Cobra.
