Hi all,
Firstly apologies for bringing up an old topic, but as the proud owner of an Organic Standard for about 5 months now I reckon I've got a bit to contribute to this particular thread.
I cannot think of a guitar I'd rather own, or of a company who, barring BK of course, has offered better service. I'll say now that Duncan admits to never having had so much 'trouble' with another individual's example - basically, the guy must have spent hours on mine after sale, and still refuses to be charged. Supposed 'problems' included:
-electrics not quite how I liked them - its currently in its 3rd or 4th permutation
-curiously scratchy pots
-more very minor things I can't remember cos they're so very minor
Basically regarding electronic setups he's listened to what I have to say, given advice, modded the guitar. And repeated until I'm as happy as is possible with it.
Regarding BK, I believe I may have been one of the first to own an Organic with said pickups - Nailbomb in the bridge, Stormy Monday in the neck. I don't like to assume too much, but I think the ordering of these is what initiated the custom Organic BK pickups.
Also to any prospective buyers I'd recommend the ebony hardware option; after I pointed out that the smooth pots (unlike the knurled metal ones) were a tad slippy Duncan is buying a knurling machine suitable for the wooden ones, which should therefore in the future look even cooler.
And another thing - the necks are quite thin. If you don't like it, get Duncan to put a 1mm shim under the fingerboard. Did for me, free of charge of course!
Anybody want further stuff about it let me know...I'll stop here before this post gets too Harmony-Central! :D
