To bring this up to date and my favorite guitar of all time.
Madagascar rosewood is OK by me.
I recently put in an old stickered T-top(1965 or so) in the bridge.
Custom wound Antiquity Double cream at the neck. Covers on both.
Really like the T-top. Easily find those sweet spots.

Yeah, me too!! Hard me to think that was 6 years ago.
I have had 3 different neck pickups and 4 different bridge pickups,
and they all sounded good in this guitar.
Even doing the Motley Crue tribute band ,I had a basic Double Distortion in.
Now with the old T-top is has that magic. Life is Good! Hawg leg, Wakeinbake3e.JPG
