Cheers gwem!

Only problem now is, after some more playing, I'm running out of reasons to keep the Burny... hmm.

Oh and I looked in the pickup cavity- (should've taken a photo, doh!) and (not that I know what a veneer top looks like) I THINK I can see what I imagine is the veneer.

But also, a long tenon? What exactly defines a long tenon? :? :oops:

They are ALL long tenon Sam, not enough were ever even built for them to have changed the design process.

Ah, thought so. :)

EDIT: ahh I see Nick.

One thing I did notice though- yours was a 1-piece back right?

Mine's a two piece - centre join...

^ Yeah same as mine.

But I'm 99% sure Nicks (a plain-top), was a 1-piece back. Perhaps that was a difference between plain-top vs. flame-top?

As for the reverse pickup - you mean the polepieces being the wrong way round? Or do you mean the whole Zebra/blue vinyl paint idea for it?

Not a Greeny homage unfortunately :oops: (although it is from now on )

Thanks for the kind words chaps. I'm dead chuffed with it. :)

Wrong pickup for Greeny anyway it was the neck pickup.

Though the Peavey Wolfgangs also have a reversed neck pickup (no magnet mods though) and it does seem to improve the sound of the neck pickup.

Yeah I just flipped them round to see what (if any) difference it made to the sound after reading a quote in the BK FAQ I think. Or somewhere like that anyway.

I didn't notice anything significant, but it's hard to say...
