    Might just be the best value in electric guitars at the moment.
    Believe me, when I was growin up, I thought the worst thing you could turn out to be was normal, So I say freaks in the most complementary way. Here's a song by a fellow freak - E.V

    I think I'm gonna grab it. I offered 200 and they said that was cool.

    This will probably be the next guitar I buy.

    I'm planning on getting this on March 8th. Was torn between this and the original Kingpin, but this is the one I've currently settled on.

    Great guitars!

    The Freeway Classic was the first guitar I bought (I had a starter electric before)... Still a great guitar!

    A friend of mine has a Godin with P-90's, can't think of the model. Great great quality.

    I love my Godin. But more importantly, John McLaughlin plays one, enough said.

    Forums are good, played a few, kept tune and seem safe enough, for the money you can't go far off the tracks.

    It's a good guitar, and I am happy with my purchase--especially for only $200. I brought it to a local guitar shop and asked if it needed any upgrades or if they recommend adding anything to it and the reply was, "no, it's fine. I take this as a good sign b/c I was giving them business and they were honest and did not try to swindle me.....as many auto shops are known to do sometimes.

    Anyway, I also bought a new Crate amp, and I love turning the knobs to 11 and wailing in the basement
