And for extra points, my new Blackstar Fly 3 stereo pack , also a limited edition, In cream
I am really liking the type D pickup a lot. I think the bridge pickup is a bit too hot for my tastes but it's not bad. I think it gives the guitar more versatility but it doesn't really match the type D well to my ear. I have to play with it more. Maybe it'll grow on me. The type D though won me over quickly. At about a 4 on the tone knob with a little reverb just sounds fantastic! The guitar is very resonant on its own. Just strumming it feels nicely alive.
I like all the little wood imperfections and nail holes too. Feels like it's been beat on and still came back for more Not as wild as some of the ones on here, probably suits me well though. A little worn around the edges but not majorly cracked LOL
I have to say, I love the fretboard wood. I haven't read many people talking about the fretboard with all the attention on the tops but it is a really good choice. The color is a very deep brown to black with tiny streaks of slightly lighter brown in it. Very dense wood too. Not sure how rare this wood is but man it's a winner if they can get a regular source for it.
Now I just need a lot more practice time
