That's like world's record LIGHT if it's true.

Agree so I weighed it myself now. Looks to be around 7.25 which seems more realistic.

Congrats, nice collection and appreciate the write up!

Thanks all.

My initial impression is that this guitar is a real rock machine, no doubt. I was worried about that after seeing most videos of everyone playing clean and trying to make it sound like and compare it to a Tele. There are a few gain videos but considering MK plays pretty heavy in Alter Bridge it was worth a shot.

A few interesting things to note:

-Positions 2 and 4, the differences between the two are pretty subtle.
-The pull up tone rolloff is also very very subtle.
-If you play with the volume open all the way, you can somewhat get that biting Tele sound.
-What is odd is that there is quite a bit of treble roll-off between Vol 10 and 9. Not sure this is an issue but will wait to hear other owners opinions on this.
-Tone control really has an excellent range.
-The tuning knobs are quite small.
-Changing strings (I took off the 10's and put on NYXL 9's) is extremely fast with this bridge.
-Intonation is very good. Perfect, maybe not.
-The feel of this guitar is nothing like my Tele which is what I hoped. Feels more like my Axis.
-The build quality is top notch. Worth every penny IMO.
-I paid extra for a hard shell case as I prefer them for storage. Ask for at least half off. lol

If the treble drops too far, clip a treble bleed cap across the input and output (not the ground lug) and season the value to taste.
