Have to share... I'm totally loving this guitar. I actually got it a few weeks ago, but haven't put it down long enough to take a picture until now.
A few things about this guitar... The pickups are custom Bare Knuckle and are very low output. Not what I was expecting. I thought about changing them when I first plugged in the guitar, but I decided to wait and live with them for a while and have actually grown to like the sound. The 4th position "humbucker" sound (pickups in series) is just sick. A HUGE FAIL BY FENDER is that the fretboard is 7.25" radius and the bridge is 9.5" radius! It was really awkward to play because the middle two strings were closer to the fretboard than the outer strings. I got a StayTrem 7.25" bridge (pictured) and it plays beautifully! So, if you get this guitar, make sure to allow an extra $109 in your budget to get the correct radius bridge. Lastly, I swapped out the white pickguard for an Aged Pearloid. Looks sharp.
