I had a play this morning. It’s awesome, and that’s with the stock pickups and without switching the position of the “middle” pickup.

It has more sustain than my Squier. Less “tick tack”, more like an even lower tuned baritone…

Even the intonation was easy (notoriously difficult on a Squier).

My only real complaint is that the “treble” strings action has to be a fair bit higher than the “bass” strings side. I suspect that’s due to it needing a fret level and dress. But it might still be solvable with more adjustments of the truss rod. We’ll see. Fret levelling is also something I have never done before so it scares me a bit.
