The eagle has landed!
FedEx kindly left my signature required package on my doorstep with no request for signature... Fortunately, I was home and it was in the house before the truck had left the front of my house.
I opened the box prepared to take it right out and inspect it but the inside of the box was pretty warm (mid-90s at delivery time), so I let it sit a couple hours to acclimate a bit.
I just finished playing for about 45 minutes... Need to put 9-42 strings on it, 10s are not what I'm used to.
Good news:
The slightly slimmer neck profile (.780-.830 vs .800-.850) is great!
The new wiring is really nice - both neck and bridge pickups can be individually switched from series to parallel via push pots and the middle position is neck+bridge while keeping the middle single coil in positions 2 and 4. Lots of toneful combinations possible there, and they sound great in parallel
Less than good news:
The same 2 notes still have less sustain than others, but it does seem a bit improved.
Thanks everyone for your moral support through the last 6+ months!
