My wife brought this home for me this past weekend. Holy cow was I impressed!
Made in 2012, released in 2013. Only 250 were allowed imported into the US. Previous owner swapped out the pickups for a set of Fralin Real 54's and also had the pots, caps & toggle replaced with higher quality parts.
Neck is a very thick soft V that transitions to a full C (aka boat neck).
I'm a hard rock/punk rock guy so, even though the pickups are amazing, I'm putting an SD Little 59 in the bridge position...it'll get wired directly to the volume pot with no other pickups connected and no tone knobs connected either. The volume pot will be moved down to the middle knob position as well. Normally, I would get a replacement pickguard to fully remove elements I don't use, but I've decided to keep this one classic and classy.
I also usually put in locking tuners, but these tuners are so dang rock solid and easy to use that I'm not going that route this time.
I'm one happy camper...my wife has killer taste!
