A couple weeks (and gigs with it) later, still digging the old school vibe married with the "sound of wood." I did a lot - A LOT - mods on mine already, including:
-Hipshot DeTuner
-JAN I brass nut (it's my personal fav)
-Sanded down the neck a bit
-Installed a ramp (it's held in place by the pickups, so it's easily taken out)
The ramp, for me, has been the biggest benefit. The spacing and height of the pickups made it a little odd to find "that" spot that I like to keep my thumb, even though I use the floating thumb technique a lot. Putting the ramp in between the pickups really helped out.
