The BLACK ONE! This is my favorite. It’s been with me the longest and has quite a few miles on it. But not to sound too much like an ad, that’s why I
love these guitars; they just get better and better as you play them. This one has grooved in like a perfect pair of jeans. The action on it is very low without buzzes and it has a really sweet strat-neck tone in the neck-single coil position. It’s very responsive and amazingly dense for a bolt-on. A NOTE ABOUT THE WIRING. One could say the these are "custom wired" inasmuch as I had stuff taken OFF. This one, the white one and the brown one are standard 24 fret CEs. All that I had them do was replace the rotary switch with a standard Gibson style 3-way toggle pickup selector and replace the tone control with a coil canceling switch (canceling the inside coils of each pickup when the switch is up). Less is more though sometimes Les is Paul or Claypool.


You would probably like the PRS “Swamp Ash”. It has a similiar pick-up configuration but has the adition of a single coil blade in the middle position. It retains the same wiring positions for the humbuckers; the single coil is activated by a pull on the tone knob so you get the same 5 humbucking wiring positions but can add the single coil as needed. There is no way to use only the middle position pickup though, not that this is a problem.
