Editor’s Note:
I was at the local music store picking up a few items, while I was there I saw this guitar hanging on the wall. It looks really sharp. This one is the Montego Black Metallic with Platinum Sparkle Pickguard. After talking to the manager and listening to him play a few of my favorite songs from the 80′s this guitar came home with me.

It looks sharp, plays really nice. A great guitar for $179.00
