These are the store shots of when I bought it. It still looks identical, if not better after a coat of Gerlitz #1 Wax

I absolutely love mine. It will be a keeper. I might add a Carvin DC series in the future, but this one is tops. The Twinblades sound really great as well. The Wilkie trem took a bit to get used to as it is super sensitive. I had to learn not to rest my palm on it or I would take it out of tune (a habit I picked up with my acoustic which is a Carvin Cobalt C-850 by the way).

OK, I'm back, sorry it took so long. I did get one of Carvin's M22T humbuckers and slapped into the bridge position. The interesting thing is that this guitar has become my No. 1. I don't know how many times in the last few months I've taken other guitars to practice on Thursday night, and by Saturday I'm grabbin' Sapphire when it's time to gig. Talk about a go-to unit, this guitar has got it goin' on! Cool

I can get great clean tones on her, and flick on the both coils on the bridge whenever I need a big hummer lead tone. Shoot, all the other guitars in my stable are gettin' real jealous. I've even sold a few lately since they've become obsolete! Cool
