:rockonNo comments Tig? I know you have good taste in guitars. I looked at these the other day and I like them a lot, especially the natural amber one, but all the finishes look great. A place by me has one on order, but I'm not sure if I will get to try it out because it might be sold before it gets to the store.

Are you gassing for this already? Silence is golden:)

I like em except Fender’s repro Wide Range humbuckers sound like carp compared to the much sought after original Seth Lover CuNiFe Wide Range humbuckers.
I’d send the pickups to telenator.com for CuNiFe modding.

What is the sound of one carp swimming (they can't clap because their fins don't reach :poke :)

I knew someone who got one original in hand and it sounds amazing, I still remember that it was a favorite guitar of Leo Nocentelli the incredible master of the groove of the Meters
