I like those flat finishes. But I recently realized how much I like playing the typical Gibson design of 2 vol and 2 tone pots with a 3 way toggle.
It's so great to be able to have one pup set for something clean and kind of quiet and the other ready to rip. Flip the toggle and you get such a dynamic change in an instant. I think I'd miss that

The only way to go with two humbuckers :AOK

Personally, I'm not sure about the "office door" finishes and I think the headstock is overlarge and ugly. Why don't they use the old Artist series headstock from the 70s and 80s??

Not my photo, btw. I'd never use flash like that ;)
