Thanks guys I really am digging this guitar, it really draws you in. The action is nowhere near as low as some of my guitars yet it's so easy to play, it feels so good and resonates like no other guitar I've played or owned. Ref the finish, it's all paint and is a satin finish, not glossy at all. I also like the more understated finish although if I were being very picky about the aesthetics and had bought new I would have gone with a painted headstock and various coloured pick up covers and knobs just to make it a little crazy. The pick ups are all S.Ds and I have no plans to change them, the singles are vintage stacks but all I know about the bridge is that it's measuring a tad under 10k but there's no sticker to say exactly what it is.
