What I am really hoping for is that it works in a way I am used to with a special. Essentially this will replace my Hamer P90 Artist, which has a great build and a beautiful fretboard. Hamer was over the top on construction but the guitar rarely gets played. Maybe not enough personality? I dunno. I have swapped pickups twice, has a nice set of Gravelins in it now. But the guitar does nadda for me.
