Is the body exactly the same shape and size?
Thanks Mike

You did the buying for AJ and you're going to forward it to him??
How cool. What a team.
How does it compare to the real thing?? |

Oh, I see. I am impressed with the neck, very good finish and straight as a Deacon neck. The body is the same size and the String Thru is just the way it should be.
The pups look to be simple Artec's and the wiring is simple 1 Vol, 1 Tone, 3 way. Good separation between Neck and Bridge tones.
Ran it through a Blackheart 3/5 watt with some Boss pedals and it had great sustain and presence.
Some Duncan Phat Cats and a little Mid boost solid state circuitry would make this a contender.
Toss in a VXT package and I'd buy one.
Start making cases and I'd buy 5 of those! :) |

FYI ... Torres Engineering makes a passive mid boost that I've successfully installed in my parts caster. It has an outer knob that is a regular tone knob, but the inner knob is a mid-range cut or boost. |

Nice guitar. Don't mess with it. Let it be. |
