This post is worthless without pics....
I need batterlees for my camera tho.......
Shes sings a mighty sweet note . Got the action and intonation right out of the gate. The bridge volume pot is not functioning tho..... so... give and take , I guess.
I had to compromise for now - it has all gold HW , but chrome tuners. They're way up on top of the neck so its not an eyesore but as soon as fundage allows , I'll go gold.
Mahogany and Padouk make a killer combo. Great sustain and great 'spank' on the notes. My little trap-door trick worked , no front or rear rout for the pots or switch. All in all , better than I had hoped for.
