Blade: XF-120

This is one of the Blades available at Davis GMC, it's the XF-120 (Cross Fire series).

Unlike its other siblings, it steers clear from the strat/tele style design, in this case, it's a simple dual humbucking, string-through-body make with lots of sustain coming from the alder body-maple neck combo. The pickups did well in driven settings but the cleans could do better in terms of warmth, especially the bridge unit. I'm definitely into the neck profile; it's an in-between feel, neither too rounded nor dramatically thin.This one's recommended for those of us looking for a contemporary feel & live by some dynamics in terms of tone. A very reasonable list price too: $480
