Overall, I love this guitar! This project was a great success. The finish is perfectly smooth (much better that my ES-335 build video) and very strong. I used a DiMarzio DP100 Super Distortion bridge pickup and a DiMarzio DP103 Neck pickup to get a bit of a grungy sound. These were the same pickups Kurt Cobain used for his Signature Fender Jaguar. His tone was the inspiration for this guitar although I wanted to use a different body style. When I play this guitar through my Marshall JCM2000 - TSL 100 using the Crunch channel, it is pretty much a perfect match to that Cobain sound I was going for. The third song, "Rainwater", was recorded using exclusively this guitar from the video. "Stay Away from the Gray" also uses this guitar for the chorus.
