Oh, this one's gold. For some reason I thought Trevor's pic was your guitar.
The gold knobs match best, black works if you want them more understated.

So i am getting an almost chorus effect from the pickups
with the Zombie it sounds kinda like a reverb
which is cool and all because the Zombie doesnt have reverb
on the new Mooer Pedal though its a different story
it does have reverb and they extra is unwanted
do you think that may be "horn" sounds that was mentioned earlier?
maybe potting or something
the pickups sound fine other than that
kind of an overtone, weird
EDIT
Come to think of it
it may be the bridge
or something else making the overtones

The overtones are an artifact of the semihollow
Or it may be the OEM strings
It sounds like reverb on an amp with no reverb
Or maybe a slight chorus
It looks amazing to me
Plays incredible
The HPL fretboard is slick as glass
between that and the stainless frets
I should never have a sprout problem
Locking tuners might help
The only downside
The body is so light, the neck seems a bit heavy
Loving it

They have a less expensive version with chrome hardware and a roller bridge
It's just not as pretty as the flamed ones
It's hard to call any of these expensive
For what they are they are just awesome guitars
This is my only Grote
Some one here yers ago got a tele shaped full hollow
I thought that was the most interesting thing I had ever seen
Cont remember who it was........

So I put the Guyker tremolo on with a roller bridge
Locking tuners from Guyker
As I moved the tremolo i noticed the low E had a rattle
May not be able to see it here but the E has dug into the nut and is laying on the first fret
Looks like the OEM had filed it a bit deep and when the new string sawing on the superglue and baking soda, it fell out
The other five were perfect
just the one.
So I had some PPS nuts i got years ago from Aliexpress before the common era
You know the ones with the hollow center
The PPS was much shorter than the original bone nut
So I had to shim it with two small strips of business card
Touch of Titebond between the layers to hold it in place and a bit on the nut
Strings hold it until it drys
Weird the low E on the new flat wound strings broke at the new locking tuner
These D'Addario half rounds have been a disappointment lately.
The seem to have a bit of gunk on the plain strings when I take them out of the package
The customer service is always super nice and sent me two sets to replace the bad set i had then.
This set was the same way. I took some 1000 grit sandpaper I had laying on the table and wiped it off it looks like just gunk not corrosion, cleaned right off. No pitts
I just dunno , I'm not gonna bother them this time
