Righto, not your usual ML here. Originally the FBD model with Dime stickers, ropey SD pickups and a shockingly bad trem system. I upgraded it with an EMG set, proper German Floyd (yep, the £200 one) and Klingon headstock decal. Korean made, USA set up, finish and inspection. If I'm honest this plays great, I've played custom slabs less comfortable. Very inspiring to write riffs on. The woodwork is mint. It's a great body, just a shame Dean chose to fit crappy parts. So I put much better ones in ;) Two pieces of poo in your trifle are: - there's no room for the third pot in the cavity. EMG pots are included if you can figure out a way of doing it. Maybe rout the cavity a bit. I never had the balls. There's a rubber stopper in the middle hole. My other idea was to put the PA2 booster switch in the hole. Or pull the EMG set and go passive again. Didn't get around to it. Rubber stopper is king. My fingers were always too big to get between the pots to wind em up quickly during a jam, so this way is best for me. - the abalone inlay on fret 12 has partially fallen out. See pic. I can't feel it when I'm playing. A luthier or competent guitar geek could repair this with a craft knife and superglue, but I never deemed it high priority. So there you go. Top drawer hardware in a slab that always deserved it. Hard case too.
