i love that riff at the start! you got the funk Ben! :)
it sounds fine on the rhythm, but it seems like hard work on the leads. lacking in body. actually, for that funky riff in the beginning it works very well, but the later parts it again sounds a bit thin. looks great though! you say it plays well, so once you upgrade the electrics it should sound great. i want one now too!
about Lazy_McDoesnothing's guitar, what way is that wired? there seem to be two toggles below the pots, and is that a varitone where the toggle usually is?
