It's here!
All strung up, with Chromes.
My main concern was that the neck was stable and not warped. Neck is in good shape, action is great. The neck is clearly copied from a Hofner, it's exactly like a Hofner "Cavern".
Has a 5-pin output jack, new standard T/S jack on it's way. The tuners are passable, they hold tuning just fine, and look cool so I probably won't plan on replacing them. Tailpiece is kinda crappy, I will replace that. The neck pickup is at the proper distance from the strings, so unless it's weak, as noted by Ilan, or sounds crappy, I'll probably keep the pickups. But, the good thing is, since there's no routing in the top for the pickups, I can drop in anything if I should choose to. Once I get the jack installed I'll give it a listen, but plays just fine.
