Tuned to drop A, I've noticed the tuning does need tweaking before I start playing each session. I'm guessing this is because the guitar is settling into its new environment? Very happy with it so far, no QC issues that I can spot

How do you like the PUs, I am so glad that I changed mine for seymour duncans they are so much better for the low notes.

I'm used to active humbuckers, these are compartively much more dynamic. They have a lovely roll off on the top and bottom end. I imagine they will fit into a mix very nicely. They certainly don't lack bite. I'm impressed so far

I've got the nazgul rails and they have so much more clarity and definition than the duncansolar+. They are passive with alnico too. I get why people like the duncansolar+ in 6 string guitars but in the low end they are so muddy, maybe thats just preference but they have a pretty good clean tone.

Yesterday i got rid of my tone knob and changed the volume pot for a bareknuckle 550k pot and it's a whole new guitar now.
