The CSM-1 is a 22 fret stat body style ax with Jackson labeled HSH pickups. I wanted a humbucker equiped guitar with fatter frets than the Squire Strat I was playing. This guitar also has a strat style wang bar that works about as well as expected. I has non locking grover style tuners and a five way selector switch.
Controls are one volume and one tone knob.
When I first tried it in the store the bridge humbucker would only intermittantly kick in but the neck humbucker sold me the minute it kicked it in with a little bit of distortion. I found the fat sound I had been missing from my strat. Clean this guitar also sounds very good. The medium jumbo frets make playing chords easy and very full sounding. Excellent harmonic tonality when cranked hard, this guitar drives all my effect pedals well without sounding mudddy.
