  1. Yep, ML1 Pro Modern... photo doesn't really do the flame justice. It's really nice. Fit and finish are as good as anything I've owned. The spec is excellent... I haven't played it for long as it still has nickel strings on, but there are a couple of sets of Ernie Ball Stainless steel slinkys on their way to me. Reasons I bought it... it's essentially the guitar I wanted as a kid, 30 years ago... Mahogany body, flame maple top, strat-ish shape, maple through neck, ebony fingerboard, minimal fret markers, two humbuckers... I was looking for a new guitar with stainless steel frets and thought "what the hell... I can return it if it's disappointing." I had been looking at Strandbergs, but they're a bit spendy. Korean guitars have really come on in the last few years and we're definitely at the point we were with Japanese guitars in the early 90s. Part of it is that they've been making them for so long, part of it is that their economy has strengthened to the point that you cannot build cheap guitars there any more.

  2. I only have two Strats; a Bravewood '62 type I bought on EBay 10 years ago or so. Brazilian rosewood slab board, all period correct and as good to play as it is to look at. Also have a jv Squier '57 bought in 1990ish. Very light, quite chunky neck. The seller had an identical one he had "Fenderised" with new decals and didn't want to keep this, which he said was in too good condition to gig and surplus to requirements. It is still almost immaculate, save for 2 dings. I am always on the lookout for another, of course.
