I've been keeping an eye on the local FB marketplace for a cheap guitar to use for some of my songwriting and saw this one - so I gave into my weakness and got it.
The guy assembles guitars (and basses) himself from parts - the pickups are from Soultone who are a small outfit here doing various guitar pickups. The builder said he had these done to sound similar to Nile Rodgers' Strat sound - if it's good enough for Nile then it's definitely good enough for me.
Played it for a while last night and it sounds and feels pretty good.
I'll do some bass practicing later as penance.
