Nice finishing!
How was the pickup sounds like? was it bright or fat ? I also wondering about Soloist body with fixed bridge, looks simple and sharp.

After all, great work!

Thanks!

I feel like the bridge pickup is very mids-heavy while the neck pickup has more of a "scoop" (lots of highs but also lots of lows).

In general, I'd say they're probably on the brighter end, but the pickup tests near the end of my video probably speak better than any description I could give them.

Get it, thanks for shearing~

I had no idea Charcoal Frost was such a nice shade of blue!
