NBD: Chapman MLB-1DHFF

Hey all - not necessarily new, as I've owned it now for about 10 days or so, but recently saw this bad boy at my local Long & McQuade and definitely had to snag it.

It has the Warwick vibes, but the .75" steps in the fan frets I like with the Dingwall. The parallel fret is in a different location, but it's still a beauty to play.
The only downsides for me: I'm not a big fan of the bartolini pickups, and It doesn't have the same output as my combustions. Perhaps swapping the pickups for EMGs might do the trick for me - the EMG colour is really workable, IME.

Here's a shot with her sister, my main axe - duly dubbed "Butt" by my bandmates. :)
