Thornybank Posted May 1, 2009 Report Share Posted May 1, 2009 HeyLakland 55-02 Skyline 5.Early/second year of issue, so assembly and all electrics USA.All 'real USA' Bartolini stuff. Natural with black plate (not screwed on, so you have the choice of a beautiful unmarked top or nat/black). Only a couple of wee marks.Huge output, full-on presence and authority, best low B in the planet.It gives my Trace head the 'OK, here we go' feel that I got from my oldMesa Big Block 750. I tried it against the shelf stock at guitarguitar (which they tolerated, but did not love 8-)) and it is actually hard to compare them: this one is an American guitar made in Korea, and theirs were (ace, but) Korean guitars, if you see what I mean.Fully pro setup and fresh strung.700 in a decent gigbag.
