I ordered this neck and body a few years ago. I had the guitar put together by a tech friend of mine. There are a few things I'm planning on changing and some things I would have done differently. First, the EMG pickups are too much (in my opinion) and will replaced with Dimarzio pickups someday (hopefully soon). The Padouk is nice, but not very practical. I play quite regularly and I worry about the lack of finish so I play my Parker more often, as I'm sure it can take the abuse. The placement of the strap pins is not ideal and tends to hang neck heavy. Perhaps moving them to a different location would be more beneficial.
Any thoughts? Suggestions?
