Love this thing. The cleans are really chimey and twangy. It's pretty much impossible to push either one of my amps into overdrive without a pedal when I'm playing the Mustang.

The stock tuning machine can't handle 52's, so I had to use a 3-inch piece of 52 wire as a sort of file, dragging it back and forth for a minute or two to widen the slot. Then I had to use a tiny drill bit and my Dewalt cordless drill to ream out the hole in the low-E tuning machine. Now it can happily handle 52's.




Tasty setup! now raise the pickups as much as possible and play HARD!
