I recently bought one these MIM because of the great reviews, a great price, and because in over 40 years of playing I have never had a guitar with a Floyd Rose. I really like it. The neck is great (though the fret ends are a bit sloppy), one of my favorites. It just feels good and plays fast.
It has an SD 59 in the neck and JB in bridge, alder body, maple neck. I mostly play classic, rock and blues with occasional metal and was hoping to use this as an all purpose gigging guitar. I like the neck pick up and the split tones are close enough to what I need, but I don't really like JB in the bridge at full volume. It just gets overly compressed and is way too bright without rolling off treble. It also doesn't seem to have as much clarity or sustain as the SD JB Jr I have in the strat that's my current number one.
Would appreciate any suggestions on adjustments or modifications to get a little more classic rock vibe, clarity and sustain. My first inclination is to change the JB to something less trebly, like a custom, but there is probably a smarter first step than that.
