Look forward to hearing your tone report.
Thanks. Still learning it but the tone is quintessential humbucker. It's a natural for classic/hard rock tones. I'm pleasantly surprised by how the tone responds to the volume and tone controls. It's very touch sensitive and the pickups retain a good deal of string detail. I'm also surprised by how much "spank", "sparkle" and "twang" the guitar retains- somehow it still has some Leo tone in it.
I plugged in rather late Labor Day so was trying to play very quiet and it still sounded really good. Looking forward to trying some different strings. I may try pure nickel.
After playing a bit more I do think a trip to the luthier is in the near future- seems like the fret ends could be a bit cleaner.
Kudos to G&L too. I had emailed them about the guitar and the response was super fast. Nice customer service!
