Reporting!

Been about a year now, still love it, still hate the pickups...

Wanna get the dimarzios really badly....

Don't wanna go with covers or rings though, just gonna leave the routes open and then stuff the cavity with neoprene to hold the pickup tight. Thinking of getting a spalted maple top put on it with a clearcoat blue to green burst, it's my main axe and I freedive as one of my other big passions. The spalted maple idea sort of reminds me of the ocean so I'd like my guitar to appear that way. like this:

I know this one is photoshopped, I just really love it and I want a finish like this so badly. Luthiers I've spoken to seem to believe this may be possible, but if anyone else has further information I would appreciate that

I figured if I get it retopped I could then have Bubinga inserts put in the pickup cavities to help stabilise and then the cap would cover them

I may as well post, seeing as I got mine... at the end of 2009, I think. Got it for my 21st birthday instead of a car. Cars can go to hell when there's a guitar on the line.

After all this time I'm still learning what I can do on it. Learning how to set it up has been an ongoing adventure... I recently switched to a custom set of GHS strings, and the GHS .080 holds its tone far better than a D'Addario .080 I find. I also went 4/4 with plain/wound strings, using a .019p for D. Anyone else tried it? It started off fine, but now it has a little bit of buzz either around the saddle or the nut... I'll have to try to pinpoint what's causing it.
