Dudes, this guitar is the shit for sure. It plays/sounds and looks cool as hell. A strap is a must have on this one! The X2N and the Super 2 along with the set neck really make this a monster of a guitar. The neck profile and fret work along with the binding is very Les Paul feeling. If you closed your eyes you would never think you are playing a Fender. I would guess a 92' Les Paul Standard. [img]graemlins/headbang.gif[/img]

I agree Jim. Fender must have been smoking the same stuff that Gibson was smoking when they came out with the Corvus I. I gotta tell you though bro.. this guitar plays and sounds really good. Now the big problem is what the F to do with it. I am not a fan of 24.75 scale. Too damn slinky and easy to play and bend for me.

Yeah, it was essentially geared towards the Rhoads crowd. Otherwise, you will see that factory come out with stuff Fender has no input on. They have some sort of arrangement with Fender to make stuff under the Fender name for the Asian market. There are Strats with Piezo only pickups and nylon strings, to totally whacked out items that only resemble a Fender by its logo. They also make modified reissues with odd parts configurations.
