Thanks for the input. I trust what you’re saying, 100%.
I am able to get a good tone out of it but I have to turn up the bass farther than what I think is reasonable. I had to go back to the zinc saddles because the steel ones were too narrow. I ordered wider one. I didn’t notice they were also available in brass until it was too late to change the order. Drilling so the body is string-through is possible but pretty ambitious considering I don’t own a drill press. The body is thin like the Affinity series. The neck is pretty good, but my expectations were never that high. This is why I’m considering giving up and going with a Super D. It ought to compensate for the lack of resonance. I’m waiting to see what the owner thinks.
