Scrubbed, everything tightened (input jack nut was loose along with the tuner nuts), conditioned the fretboard, and put on fresh Elixirs. Will rock it tomorrow night but at the moment, don't think I need to do a set up. Appears to be good to go as is.
The quilt top is most likely 3/16ths on the top, but thickens up to 1/4" on the arm bevel. Will post pics maybe tomorrow when I can get some good ones.
The neck and SS frets feel great! A touch thicker than the recent Charvels with speed necks that I have had over the past 5 years but with less shoulder. Felt great in the hand but slighlty less substantial than my #1 LP due to the shoulders. Dark rosewood board. For some reason, my first thought about the headstock reminded me of a Wolfgang. Seems to be just slightly smaller than a Charvel with Fender headstock.
Curious to hear the ToneNerd Whiskey pickups when I plug it in. Feels good and plays good not plugged in so I have high hopes.
