Thanks! The NENA finish is cool looking and seems durable.
I really like the satin finish on the neck too, it is so smooooth..

Did you custom order this with a single tone control? I may be wrong, but I thought that the PTB system would be standard issue. Thanks! - ed

ed, look at the pics of the collection, and also, there are no options available. so the answer is no.

Sorry Louis. But it is quite a departure from the normal controls (I wonder if a tone pull splits the hummer) and I kind of just noticed it and didn't research it further. - ed

The single tone knob splits the JB Humbucker.
The 2nd position with middle and humbucker is nice and full while still 'stratty'.
The volume knob is high friction (resists turning) - I assume that is intentional to avoid accidental use.

Somehow I missed this one. It sure is sweet. I have a new appreciation for nearly naked with the Equatorial Mahognay. It had to grow on me.-- Darwin
