I played one months ago at Sam Ash on 48th street in NYC. the neck felt great and it played like butter. just as good as my '92 JS-1. the bridge looks a little strange to me but that's really such a minor thing. i would have bought it at the time if i could have afforded it. i loved the color too...kind of goldish but not in a gawdy way.axeshredder said:yes...anyone...would love some input cause i think im going to buy the 2000
