Was anyone else thinking "Orange creamcicle?" I usually don't like cream plastic, but that looks good.
Thanks for all the replies! Well I'll start with the "controversial" body wood, Poplar. Bash me if you must, but you can also take a look at my post regarding poplar. My philosophy on Poplar is explained.

Neck & fretboard
- birdseye maple
- vintage tint satin finish
- Warmoth Pro 10 16 compound radius.
- Wolfgang back contour
- Bone nut
- 6130 standard fret wire
- 22 frets
Bridge
- Wilkinson VS401
Pickups
- SD Pearly Gates neck and bridge
- SD Vintage Rails middle
Wiring
- Standard 5 way switching plus push/pull tone pots. One allows for coil cut in neck pup in position 5. The other adds the bridge pup in switch positions 3,4, & 5.
Parchment/black/parchment pickguard
Q-parts knobs
Someone mentioned the action appearing low. Yes, it is very low, and the guitar plays beautifully. I took it to Philtone Guitar Company in Baltimore. I couldnt be happier with the precise setup, the fret polishing, and the bone nut Phil cut and installed for me. http://www.philtone.com/
[EDIT] I just realized that the pic was taken after it was given a terrific setup and initial truss rod adjustment by Danny Birzak of Danny's Guitarworks. This was before I ever took it to Philtone for additional work. I'm lucky to have two people I can trust to work on my guitars! http://www.dannysguitarworks.com/ [/EDIT]
It is definitely my go-to guitar. I recently swapped out the pickups for a set of SD P-rails (the new hot one in the bridge and the original in the neck). They certainly have their own characteristics as compared to the PGs, and are very musical, but I ended up going back to my original set of pickups. Theres just something about the PG's and Vintage Rails in this guitar that just works.
