What were the final specs for the Standard? I prefer passives/bolt on to actives/neck thru, but I prefer a maple board to both, so...

For $650 I might just chance it if they extend the initial order.

The Standard is maple board/ash body/maple/walnut bolt-on neck/passive pickup/Agile bridge

The Pro is maple board/maple/walnut neck-thru/mahogany wings/EMG 808/Hipshot bridge

I figure I'll have to go custom for a pickup that doesn't suck, but let's be realistic, aside from chugging and giggling I'll probably try to do mostly fingerstyle/touchstyle with the thing...

I think i'll possibly be doing the same. Likely biased more towards the chugging and giggling, though i am seriously thinking of putting a GraphTech piezo in it.

I'm seriously thinking on ditching the EMG on my custom pro and get a Swineshead Apex as they are direct replacement I'll have to add some little pieces of maple so it doesn't look bad
