@Eilif I did not. I would guess at it being more refined than the stock pre. Years ago I went on an 01 modding binge. Audere pre with Big Splits in a 55-01. That was pretty cool.The transparency of Audere with Nordstrand pickups really works. I currently have a Valenti 4 with an Audere and Big Blades. On the block but you never know...
