I just bought this. It should be at my door any day now. What do you think I should do with it?

Play it! It looks good, the white pickguard is a huge improvement.

Lipstick pickups, onboard Harmonic Percolator with phantom power! Or maybe it's just me.

Rout for 3 angled pickups. Replace Rhythm circuit with a compressor/fuzz/something useful. And buy a Staytrem.

Gonna hold off on painting it, because the sunburst actually looks quite good after a good rub down with extra fine steel wool... It's all routed now, for P90's. I have a cheap pair coming soon, but I plan on replacing them with something nice, later, along with high end pots, etc. Also, it's gonna need a buzz stop...

Why mount them that way, just curious?

Does everyone use buzz stops? I saw they were selling at Zamms but didn't know if I needed one or not.
