Here's two more shots where I almost got the right color, the "greeny lemon"





Would you believe me if I say that the guitar plays better now?:naughty:

The only thing is that I took the guitar to my luthier who liked the guitar, plugged it in a amp and...didn't like the Seymour Slash's... said to me that for that quality, she needed better pups... I know it comes to personnal taste but for sure I could agree with him. Better than the stock 2010 pups that were in but not super extra sound (and these pups don't make me play like the man with the hat)... I'd go double whites, not that expensive (400$ is way too much, around 200-250$ way better) but what? Di Marzio? Dunno...

By the way, could someone explain to me how the "likes notification" work?...

I think Duncan antiquities are hard to beat in that price range. I have dimarzio 36 anniversary in a guitar also, and they´re fine, but they don´t really sound like PAFs, more like middle of the road humbuckers.. They do everything decent, but nothing fantastic.
Sheptones have good prices also, but I didn´t like the ones I tried as much as the Antiquities.. I think you can get double whites from their custom shop (still to a decent price) but otherwise just buy them covered and let it be a surprise what´s underneath :)

Ps, sweet guitar! Ds
