The details:
This guitar is finished in a metallic pink-burst like color. It's got metal flakes on and the rose symbol is engraved on the pickguard, the neckplate and the tuners. The plastic pickguard has three plies of material, two white plies and a fuchsia pink one in the middle. The neckplate is made from aluminum.

Pros and cons:
The neck of the guitar is pretty comfortable and playable. The jumbo frets and the oval profile make it perfect for modern playing styles. The hot ceramic pickups had no problem delivering lots of gain with no feedback at all, even at higher volumes. The 500K rated Pots are also responsible for that. Through a high gain amp, these pickups sound like P90s or dual coil pickups but they clean up pretty well at lower gain settings. The overall tone is not too dark and not too bright. This guitar is made for lead soloing and stuff like that, as these single coils can really scream.
The only downside of it was the poorly cut nut that needed to be filed and lubricated to work properly. Once the guitar was checked and set up with a set of 0,009" strings, it was ready to rock!

This gypsy rose guitar is very playable and its build quality is pretty good. So, how much does it cost? Around 100 Euros new!
