This guitar is amazing, as soon as i saw it i immediately wanted to play it. I mainly play instrumental songs and styles like, joe satriani, steve vai and joe pass and plenty of others. And i was looking for a guitar that was cheap enough and looked and sounded the part. So, i went into my local music shop and started to try all the guitars out, and i mean all. When i played the S470 it felt like i was playing a JEM or JS, it has a really thin and flat neck with low action.

This car is not available in the UK but is essentially the same as a Toyota Landcruiser Amazon which is. Check out the Toyota Reviews for details of the Amazon.
Lexus is the upmarket marque of Toyota for those who didn't already know and many of their cars share the same parts - my old IS 200 for example had numerous Toyota branded bits when you opened up the bonnet.
