With the Showmaster QMT HH Electric Guitar one of the sweetest-looking Fender designs ever is bumped up a notch with brilliantly quilted carved maple on top. Superb resonance from a 24-fret maple neck set into the deep-cut basswood body translates into serious sustain from the American made-Seymour Duncan SH-1nRP '59 Reverse Polarity humbucker at the neck and SHPGP-1b Pearly Gates Plus humbucker at the bridge.

For a sample of how this sounds go to:

It was the ONLY guitar used on this (other than the acoustics obviously), and the same guy played the multiple parts with minimal effects and eq'ing.

That's a fingerprint, not any scratches on this.

These are actually great guitars for the money... A friend of mine grabbed one new before MF put them on clearance... Great tone!!! (free bump =D )
