Traded in a ton of used gear I had. None of which I was using for the cutlass.
I’ve owned well over 100 guitars and this one is probably the best I’ve ever owned. That’s saying something considering I’ve owned PRS cores, many fender USAs, ESPs, Gibsons, high end Ibanez’s,Jackson’s, other EBMM. It just plays and feels so damn good.

Only issue is I didn’t like the Pickups. I took out the silent circuit and the stock pickups and dropped in a set of Lollar blondes. Bridge pickup is currently a Dimarzio FT1. A new bourns low friction pot for volume and a blender mod in the tone position. Also added a treble bleed.

Got a thornbucker 2 on the way as well as a new Pickguard. The body is routed for HSS which is awesome. Should be here later today!

That looks great!
What didn't you like about the pickups/silent circuit out of interest? I've heard a couple of other people say this too, is it that they are higher output/more hi-fi than 'typical' strat pickups
