This one looks pretty good. I am going to stop by at their store this week and try it out

I swapped for Dimarzios a long time ago. Its a very nice playing guitar. The neck is round but on the thinner side. If weight is a problem, it is not a light guitar. If i remember correctly mine weighs 10.2 pounds. It still neck dives like crazy. I have to use it with a canvas strap or at least a wide one. The bridge is difficult but not impossible to find parts for. The tiny slots at the top of the brass screws for adjusting action get destroyed easily. I got some stainless ones online years ago and they are a bit better. It still sounds great and plays like butter.

I was hoping you would chime in, Any neck dive issues with yours?

These days I'm rocking zebra 59 neck and seth lover bridge in it; had a Hellabucker in the bridge for a long ass time which was equally epic (in a different way)

This is the guitar equivalent of dirty sandals and untrimmed toe nails.
