It is a great guitar beautifully crafted and carefully designed. It's definitely easier to play.

For it to equal the collectibility of a burst though, it needs to become rarer and be used by a hugely successful band. The Signatures have all been snatched up by collectors so it's unlikely they will be used a geat deal on stage/recordings.

Id quite happily trade my 89Custom for a 59burst though. Anyone?
