Not too fussed about the shiny ring (arf). It probably looks cleaner than it is because the pickguard is a matt finish which I hadn’t realised. Quite like it actually.
First impressions played through my practice amp are that the neck sounds great on its own but a combination of very bright bridge pu and no-load tone control thing (by-passes all controls when fully rotated) make the difference between pickups a little too pronounced to work with most amps settings. Think i’ll do the neck pu tone bypass thing for now and look at a less bright bridge pu in a few weeks. I already have my eye on the antiquity tele bridge
The main issue tho is that the in between position is properly out of phase. Not just nicely quacky like a strat in between but massive volume drop phase cancellation super thin screamy type out of phase. Could be useful if It were an “also” option, but really i’d Like both pickups on to sound like both pickups on. Had read this might be an issue. Not sure how to fix just yet...
