The LEad series were cheaper than the Mustangs of the late 70's. AT least they were more cheaply made, but I believe they were also cheaper in price.
They were better than the original Bullets, (There's another candidate), but not as good as Mustangs.
I played both, I didn't buy any of the Lead series, but I did buy a Mustang.
I remember trying them out in 79/80/81. I considered one when I was upgrading from my Les Paul copy, but they didn't make the grade. Then I found a great price on an Iceman. Then a year later I found a Mustang. They weren't common in my neck of the woods. I bought one. No regrets either.
