Honestly, this is the best guitar I've owned and played. This guitar has a Nato ( yes it's Nato, I called Silvertone and they told me) body with vintage maple neck and tuners and it sounds fantastic. It's perfect for ANY type of music. It has a neck cushion protects the body from wear and damage making it last for a life time and it has large mushroom shaped strap buttons that never let your strap go. I play punk and I love it, I put a Wilkinson ceramic humbucker in the bridge and now I love it even more. I don't know anything about the amp or tanything elese because I only bought the guitar. Buy this guitar, it's perfect for anyone!
