Here you go.  Side by side comparison.



I'm pretty pleased it has to be said, however there's a little issue on the bridge pickup that's (hopefully) being addressed today.  Pickup is noiseless until you play a note and there's a little crackling as the note decays.  My tech guy says it's probably a grounding issue or a dry solder joint.  He's sorted out far worse previously, so I trust his judgment.

Otherwise, it's great.  Balances nicely, pickups sound nice clean or effected.  The body is a bit bigger, but to me not significantly so.  I'm a big bloke, so it probably looks normal.  Heh.  I like the forearm bout chamfer...so used to the Gibson slab, so no more bruises.  The reverse headstock will take a bit of getting used to.  Stock set up had the action a tad high, so dropped the bridge a couple of mm both sides to get a bit of rattle.

The chamfer... that's why I modded my RD...

Nice... ;)

Staring at that event horizon is a dirty job, but someone has to do it; something's going to come back out of it one day...
