Hi guys,
first of all: Thank you very much for your help on building this up. There are so many good threads on this board which helped me out alot! Thanks!
--- Facts
Body
Alder
Color: Lake Placid Blue (done by Warmoth)
HSH-Route
Neck
Maple with Indian Rosewood fretboard
6150 standard nickel/silver frets
Schaller staggered locking tuners
Bone nut
Pickups
Neck: DiMarzio Air Norton (not bright, not fat, but got somehow everything in it. Was my biggest concern, but the sound came out amazing. In SC-mode good for acoustic-simulation)
Middle: DiMarzio Pro Track (got less warmth than Norton, less brightness than Super Distortion, sounds very PAF-like)
Bridge: DiMarzio Super Distortion (clean and bright, clear and a little fat. Sounds like a doubled SC. Classical sound when gain is up. Very high output, but still clear to hear out every single string)
Tech
Wilkinson VS100 Tremolo
3 500k DiMarzio push/pull pots
Switchcraft jack
10-46 strings mounted
Misc
This guitar came out very very heavy. It weights as much as a Les Paul. The pickups are also adding their tribute to weight, the Super Distortion feels like a skelp of heavy steel in your hand. I'm considering a chambered body next time.
Played unplugged it is very loud, but shines when plugged into an amp.
It plays very well, no nasty rattling, very good sustain.
