Did some swapping, back into a Floyd guitar for the first time in maybe a decade or more. It’s trans-black, more abalone fanciness than I care for, but plays like a dream.
It’s been banged up a little, but the frets and neck are nearly perfect, and has the silliest low action. With 10-52 strings in standard, not much over 1mm at the 12th on both sides, you can bend any note to anything and it doesn’t fret out anywhere.
I may end up trying different pickups, but the dual 81s do all the metal goodness you could expect. The original Floyd set up with ease, and obviously does its job well. I Steve Vai’d the hell out of it last night, and it stayed perfectly in tune.
Since there’s no need for a tone knob on this sort of guitar, I’m ditching that.
