Re: New guitar! (Zion)
It is indeed ebony!
The feel is smooth, dense (a softer dense, not like ash), and spanky. It's a really clean feeling guitar. The bridge pickup sounds great on chords...lots of definition to the individual notes, but on single-note lead-wanking it gets a bit single-coil-ish for my taste. The middle pickup is nothing special, and the neck pickup sounds really nice. Not sure if they're different pickups, or if it's just their positions.
