Always have enjoyed the slimmer, cleaner look of a Sterling, plus the 3 way switch.
Scored a deal on this one that looked like it went through a war. Took me over a week to clean up the frets, fretboard, straighten the neck and setup the action. Ended up painting the pole pieces black due to the corrosion.
I am more of an alnico guy but was pleasantly surprised how well the ceramic works with a basswood body.. kind of enjoy better than the EBMM sterlings I have had in the past. The preamp is high quality too. Mine weighs under 9 lbs and plays great.
Picked up some new knobs as I don't prefer the chrome domes. They are black rubber jazz style made my Knobeez. I dig their knobs.
Was thinking of spicing it up with a new pickguard as black on black has never been my thing. Thoughts? I know tort and gold are standards and look classy, that rosewood is growing on me.
Looks like this, real pics coming soon
