Arrived Yesterday afternoon, the unwrapping:
Neck is 2-1/8" at the 24th fret, string spacing centerline to centerline E-G is 1-15/16", The neck is narrow but not thin. Plays fast and easy. Trussrod does its job well. Cleaned and set it up this AM. Color is a very fine metallic 'champagne'. Body edge radii are smaller than trad Fender and really crisp.
Got the action very low and managed to balance the pickups. I added some helper foam to the original black sponge. The strings are stainless EXLs. Sound is OK but volume pots are almost on/off, very weird taper. Gotta change the strings after I fiddle around a bit. Plays great, though.
Steve won't be modding these pickups! I might take Joe's advice and relocate the bridge pup but I think I'm just going to play it like it is for a while. The dings and scrapes don't bother me either.
