Just picked this up from Music Royale in Powell, OH (just north/northwest of Columbus). I went in to try out a Mesa Mark Five:35 combo and used this to test with. I was fairly impressed with the amp, but I'm still between that, a Bad Cat Hot Cat, and a PRS Custom 20/50 or PRS Archon.
On my way out the door, the saleswoman asked if I was interested in any guitars - she said that she'd let the 245 go for REDACTED because it had been sitting around for a little too long. I knew that the gold metallic color was phased out this year for red metallic. It played and sounded great, so I couldn't pass it up! Here it is next to my 2015 S2 Custom 22.
Pickups sound great to me, no real need to change them (that goes for either guitar). I will likely put on a set of the clear/black USA knobs, though - also thinking about black pickup rings and a black selector switch, but I'll just do the knobs first. The nut is not cut very well either, it'll likely be a Drop D guitar, so I'll put 10-52 D'Addario's on it.
