(More customer reviews)This is a very nice playable guitar. I have a 30 year old stratocaster that plays well but the SM-Y2D smokes it with a really fast unfinished birdseye maple neck.I really like the sculpted neck pocket for playing on the highest registers and it fits my hand just perfectly.It came to me with no setup issues such fret buzz dead notes etc. and I doubt i'll even have a setup done. EB Music Man really puts out some really nice guitars and this is a fine example. Top notch finish that you either like the looks of or don't.This has the matching headstock which I don't think the newest models include. The head is approx.1 3/4" shorter than my Strat.and that makes it seem like a smaller guitar even though the neck has 1 more fret for 22 total. The upper horn is approx. 1/2" shorter than my Strat.and the lower horn is about the same.The fingerboard markers are only a 3/32"-1/8" dia. whick I like the look of.The purple sunset is the earlist version and they now come in different colors if purple isn't your thing and yes it does look much better in person.You can get great sound out the SM-Y2D and with the right amp setup and even sound just like Steve if ya got that kind of talent and thats the sound your after. I play it through a 40watt solid state Fender amp and it sounds great. I would like to hear it with a good tube amp some day though. Tons of sound and playability great in a great build quality make this worth a look for sure. Mine arrived with out a scratch on it in a MM hard shell case and the price at Amazon was hundreds lower than anywhere else when I bought it. If you don't know this already, Amazon prices change all the time and can even change while an item is in your basket so if you see it at a great price buy it before it changes/goes up. I found this out while I had an Aguilar speaker cabinet in my cart and the price jumped up $50.00 I got mad and passed on it even though it was still a good price. Lesson learned !
