Hi guys.
This is an update for an earlier thread. The guitar is finally here!
Some pics :
What a great instrument!
It's easily the most resonant guitar in my arsenal. Very loud when played unplugged!
The neck is really fast with comfortable shape, and the gunstock oil finish feels great! I'm quite surprised because the fret size isn't as big as I had imagined, but it's a fast neck nonetheless!
The colour is a darker blue than what I expected, but I like it! Really wish I had gone with the shield inlay though.
Now the pickups, I like the Crunch Lab, It's thick sounding with good crunch, It also has really tight (almost "dry" sounding) bottom end.
The liquefier is a bit too warm for my taste, I might replace it someday.
It would be nice if musicman put springs for height adjustment instead of bolting the pickups right to the body. The crunch lab is very tall and close to the strings, while the liquefier stay low. There is gain and volume drop when switching to the neck position as is.
The piezo sounds great!!
Overall, I'm very happy with the purchase. The quality and attention to detail is evident, and one would be hard-pressed to find similarly feature-packed instrument at any price point.
