Been playing 10 yrs and this was my first 'real' guitar, play blues, punk, rockabilly through an old silvertone tube amp, sansamp pedal and analog delay. I've built a tele, LP with flamey top, and hollow body and this thing is a different animal altogether. Design is similar to the famous 4000 bass. Rosewood fingerboard, finished with clear lacquer. Neck is quite small and has a D shape.
Body has no bindings but the fingerboard has.
7 Sounds very thin, clear, very sweet. Pickups have very low output. Not noisy at all. Very disturbing is that the neck pickup is almost twice as loud as the bridge pickup, even if the neck is lowered as much as possible and the bridge has been put as high as possible. I think I'll switch them.
