I've already got a Gold Top so I didn't really want another gold guitar. I thought about Ox Blood, and I almost went with that but obviously picked this instead. I like how it turned out, though I am wondering how it would look with black plastics. I dunno man, with that top, if that was my baby the pick guard would be in the case. it's too bad they preinstalled it, so now you have holes..

I actually thought about asking for it to be included but not installed, but I really use the PG to anchor my hand so I just let them do their thing. Plus, that top has so much going on you almost need the PG to give your eyes a break. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdgm Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 I like having my pickguard on but that is a bloody amazing top! As the binding is cream, everything sort of flows from there IMO...black could look nice too, but would it look better? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Dog Posted March 13, 2020 Author Share Posted March 13, 2020 OK, well here she is at home. This one came with a perfect setup except for the p/u pole pieces. For some reason they had the ones in the middle low, and the ends high, the exact opposite of the fingerboard radius. Anyway, once I fixed that it sounds great. It feels really nice and plays fantastic. The P90s are out of phase so they hum-cancel in the middle position which is nice. One thing that is weird is that it's a gloss guitar but they put VOS hardware on it. They said they would send me new hardware if I wanted. To me, it looked more dramatic in the photos. In person it's not really that noticeable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
