Initial Tone Report:
Sometimes I too get wrapped up in the "Boutique" end of things and it takes a guitar like this to bring me back to earth.
These Duncan's sound incredible! Without a doubt one of the most popular pickup combinations ever, and with good reason.
I loved the tones this guitar was producing. The bridge position has that nasally snarl and the neck position is a smooth warm sustain. Combine the two and it's a beautiful thing.
Now...blend in a like piezo and the shimmer comes alive.

Steve, thank you for being such a great guy during this build. Again, seeing the smile on your face as you opened the case and played it was something I will never forget!

Thank you my friend,
Ron 8o
