This is a really nice guitar and sounds good, The neck is nice although maybe a bit thick for my taste but still grate to play on. I had some EMG pickups and no dj gig this weekend so I just decided to do some modding to the guitar. I also didn't like the placement of the switch so I changed the electronics to only 1 volume and 1 tone kind of like it is on the EX-84. I will be changing the bridge and tuners for black once later when they arrive. I've used the knobs from the FV-430 as I think the gold once looked just stupid The guitar sound amazing now but there is some grounding problems I need to solve

Why thank you Gullum! I'm still considering this one very seriously, like I said in my GASing thread. Is the neck standard C or thicker? By the way, don't you cut off the ends of the string near the tuning peg? It always rattles like a skeleton when I keep them long.
