There's clearly some really cool stuff that can be had by just ordering standard bird's eye maple.

That's friggin gorgeous... how does it sound?

 

[Mr. E.]

it sounds pretty good, though I'm kind of on the fence about the pickups. They are pretty quiet - actually they are VERY quiet for the most part but the neck gets a little noisy with a lot of gain (the bridge and mid still stay quiet). Plenty loud and punchy. a little thin, not very "quacky" though. At least to me.

I may wind up replacing them, but it is very serviceable as-is.

Some days all the gold hardware is a bit much to look at  :laughing7:

I can foresee a day when the pickups have been swapped out, and the hardware replaced with Callaham goodies.

But overall it plays and sounds great.
