I,ve been on a neck single coil trip for while now. Never been much of a neck pup guy but off late..I am loving the tone and feel of them (esp. single coils or humbuckers that sound like single coils),especially on guitars w/ 22 frets.
Anyway, a lot of hype surrounding this (hitherto practically unknown) brand. I was at the guitar store the other day for a pack of Stubby's and as usual i took a look at the guitar's on the wall..and this one stood out like a sore thumb on account of how sweet it looked. It had an immmaculate finish & when I plugged it in & had a go I was shocked at how awesome it sounded as well. The stock pup's are nothing short of spectacular & the tone is friggin awesome..
Price was ok as well.....not super cheap but medium priced.

Anyway I brought it back to the old nest yesterday.. It played great out of the box but I lowered the action a bit to my usual height (no buzz and I could take it down further w/o any too..it's a lovely neck) & also reset the pup height accordingly (still need to work on that a bit more). The only thing I find a bit "different" feeling are the frets on this thing...they're a bit higher than i'm used to and that takes some adjusting to when I'm playing (for slides especially..). Otherwise...it's a very comfortable feeling axe to play with a nice fast neck, and really excellent slightly recessed two point S style tremolo (very smooth action.and great tuning stability even w/o my usual Big Bends nut sauce treatment which I have'nt got around to yet..). The pup's are especially classy.
Plugged it into my Randall T2/Peavey 4x12 to record something quick (Sennheiser e906 mic)

...my pictures don't anywhere near do it justice. They had a blue one there that may have been even more gawk-worthy but I liked the feel/tone of this one better when I played them. Besides, funnily enough I do not own a trans grey guitar (until now). The fingerboard on ths one was prettier too with flame or something running parallel to the frets...very 3D looking The finish on the finger board is glossy as well so it accentuated that..
