I've just noticed something wrong: There's 3 photos taken by Jb and not one of them is the backside.

The photos JB took are so much better. Loverly burst on that one, I like how it subtlety extends into the horns...

Are you already looking out for humbucker sized P90s?
When faced with quality, I recognise it every time.

It's certainly a possibility. It has Duncan 59 and Jazz pickups. I'm going to take some time and discover what its voice is like. Might not need to change anything.

Just a thought. Before you start on the finish, why don't you borrow a nickel bridge, tail piece, and pickup covers, and see how they look on the guitar? You could experiment with different levels of aging. Then see if you need to take the finish shine back. You might find it doesn't need much, for you to be happy with it 😊

It comes with nickel hardware

The hardware looks really shiny. If you can dull it down a bit, I think that will help :-)

Jay is right. shouldn't mess with it. If I decide it really is a keeper, I might break the shine. Until then, I'll apply myself to learning how to play it.

I mean the hardware, not the body. Dull hardware will make a difference to the look of the guitar, and be more in line with how you like a guitar to look :-)

True that. It can be argued I have no regard for looks. My shocking green Legacy is testimony.

My biggest issue is it’s not a battered Fender which is my comfort zone.

I could be persuaded to part with my Bare Knuckles Blue Notes, which would look great in this. Have just a little bit of wear on them...
