Fender used top notch parts on these guitars... Floyd Rose Pro, Dimarzio's (what
later became Super3's and the Evo neck if i remember correctly). They play incredibly
and sound killer in ANY situation. They also offered 7 models of these... the top end
(talon V) shown below is pretty an upgraded Ibanez RG 770. I bought this one new in
1992 for $1400 inc OHSC.
