      interesting! is it semi-hollow? I wonder would there be static or grounding concerns?

          The body is a StewMac thinline body......Alder capped with flamed Maple. not sure if StewMac sells those anymore. No issues with grounding or static. I have a couple of other brass top guitars that work beautifully.
