The Lambertones Crema pickups arrived, so I finished it up. I like the pickups. They have a nice tone. Bridge is bright, but not harsh. Middle has a nice sound different from either pickup. Neck is more full, but not muddy. Even in the Jazz circuit, it is still pretty clear sounding. I did a demo that is uploading, so just pictures for now.

Very nice ! The color palette you've got going on is what Fender should have done with this version all along, the ugly tort and maple neck of the original model make this pretty nice gold shade look awful, compared to the contrasting neck and pickup covers you've chosen.

I bet the QOTSA neckplate gives you a whole bunch more of TONE :D

I don't know... I could be missing out, but I don't have an extra $150 for those fancy neck plates. :(
