Hey Greg - It's Sunday morning and I know you gig quite a bit with your LP's. Did you gig last night and did you get to try out your Custom in a live situation? If yes, how did it handle various songs etc.
People want something for nothing, they want it right now. Either they can't tell quality or don't care but feel it is important that everyone agrees with them.

I have not officially gigged with it yet. I have used it at lots of practices and jams and recording already. It's wonderful. It's way way way better than it was with bad grounds and bad pots. As far as "handling various songs"...it's not a problem because all of my songs are the same. Lol.

The pickups are extremely clear and responsive. Even when dialed up dirty, single notes ring true and chords sound thick and full but with an open clarity. It's really great. :coolstorybro:

Cool - practices and jams are close enough for me and it sounds like that baby has passed the test in all regards. :)

It does. No problems. It's like a whole 'nother guitar now.
