    The guitar sounds good, imho.
    Never played a high quality semi hollow body before so nothing to compare it with.
    The neck pickup has a nice warm sound, the bridge is of course a lot more sharp (don't know the right word for it)
    With the switch on both pickups and the 2 volume controls you can find any tone in between.

    There are blemishes and I have mentioned a few.
    I could point them al out with pictures, but this is a build diary, not a build fail diary.

    The pickguard came like this, it had a protective layer on it.
    Pulled the layer, installed it and cleaned my greasy prints of it.
    No polish or anything.
