    The mini toggle for the coil split should be oriented in an up/down direction with up being split mode. The way it is now is counter-intuitive. That can be easily fixed with an adjustable crescent wrench though.

    Opening riff in the jam was very cool. Humbucker sounds were a bit dark. Single coil tones sounded a bit zingy - wondering how they might sound wired parallel. The price point is amazing. A couple of GFS humbuckers would round it out nicely.

    I ordered an EART E-TT72 a few days ago after pondering on it for a month and watching several EART guitar reviews. It's a basically an HH semi-hollow thinline tele in a surf green color. Always wanted a semi'-hollow, but really dislike Fender/Squire necks. A few reviews mentioned that EART tele guitars have a thinner neck. Hoping that I'll be impressed...

    although it doesn't seem like it's for me as stock, i think it'd be a great platform to customize it (different pickups, controls, tuners, etc.,). a lot of these companies are really hitting it out of the park as far as what they're offering in that price range!
