got my guitar in the mail yesterday, right before work so I had to anxiously wait to play it all day before I could get home - to where I couldnt crank my amp up because it was late Oh well, here she is, couldn't be more satisfied! The only thing I'd change about this guitar is maybe give it a satin neck or an unfinished neck.
Now the question is, MBK-2's or just splurge for the Holy Diver pickup.....
Also I cant remember who was talking about the fret markers on the side being " Half way there" but I have the same thing - however it's because they're halfway on the fretboard wood and halfway on the neck wood, so it gives the illusion of it only being half there. I rarely use them myself and I only have a peice of medical tape on my guitars necks at the twelfth fret to help me.
