ever since i saw the review in guitarist magazine, i've been really thinking of trying one as a fix for all my p90/hum needs in a strat-like guitar.

thinking black with a gold anodised guard. any thoughts on them. they do two versions, the standard and one with upgraded pickups/bridge/matching headstock.

I have one of the early issue (maybe first issue) 12 string versions with gold hardware/single coils and it's fucking amazing! 12" radius fret boards I believe. Well made instrument.

if they didn't have such flat (and thin) necks, I'd probably play Yamahas exclusively.
