| Man, the ESP Vintage models look killer.
But the '08+ American Std P's are really something special. Granted, it doesn't have the J pup, but Fender really nailed it with these. Mine comes in at under 8 lbs., and the thin finish is wearing beautifully. I'm also amazed at how less obvious the typical bolt on wood neck dead spots are on it. Play a B minor 10th double stop (B on the E string, D on the G string) on just about any other bolt on (+/- a half step), and listen to the buzz/rattle. On my Fender P, it's just about non-existent.
When I first got it, I was a bit underwhelmed with the pup...... but a set of chromes really make this thing sing.
And you'll probably be looking at better resale value down the road with the Fender. |
