It did play well when I picked it up with the standard strings and tuning. Today I set it up for my 10-46 Ernie Ball Slinky's and E Flat and it took it like a champ, very impressed.
The neck is super thin, thinner than it needs to be, but I can play it. Sitting down so far, LoL. Will get a strap for it this week.
She's a keeper, so I will be getting some upgraded pickups, probably Tone Zone in red at least for the bridge, still deciding on neck, but maybe another Tone Zone.
I'll get a dual hum pickguard and delete the single coil. It's screwed all the way down now too, so it's out of my way.
I did find the switch is a little in the way when the neck is selected, but that will be fixed when I turn it into a 3-way toggle, which is all I need.
