Here it is.
Not the wildest spalting but very attractive.
I have to say its damn well built. Tuned up and played great. Ran it clean for awhile and the intonation was angelic compared to most of my SX'. They really did an outstanding job on the nut and that's where SX has been basically a fail along with so many other imports. Mine still have work to do on them and still bug me enough that I don't play them as much as I want.
The FF338 had very good fretwork and the action is great. Could probably lower it but don't know if I want to.
I had work to do but it was hard to pull myself away. Nice tone, maybe great. I figure gain is where it would crap out so I went pretty loud and over gained standing right in front of it. Had to back off the bridge pup to keep from howling but then there it was. Pure Nugent controlled feedback. Could just play lines sliding up and down the A string infinitely. Somewhere around E you could actually feel blasts of air as it pumps in and out of the F hole (so nasty sounding). Its just beyond amazing for $200. I was a little disappointed it had no better fret access up around 21 but no worse either. Guess I just have to get a V to do my schenker. The only reason I could justify getting this is if it could replace a guitar or 2. It may very well let me sell off my very boring looking dot studio and possibly my johnson big body jazz box. ( I do enjoy offering to show everyone my big johnson)
Really A+ of the 338. Maybe just a B on the spalting but still plenty of looks to fall in love with. There was an argument that the spalting was drawn in with a sharpie. Well if so kudos to the artist. He must have a hell of an eye for symmetry. Its very bookmatched looking. I guess some aren't. And I'm pretty sur ethats a penis between the pickups and some wizard sleeves below.
Finally pulled myself away long enough to repair the 2 drums on my alesis Edrum set. I got the piezios soldered in and success all around. What a night. Maybe God isn't pissed at me
