Has increased in resale value since Fender stopped making it.

The pickups are really mean sounding. I tried the guitar on multiple amps. You have to really dial back the volume on the guitar to get a clean tone and stop it from breaking up and going into overdrive. This was the case until I plugged it into Big Pappa – my Fender ’59 Bassman 4×10.
