Superb!
Tell me, how does an aluminium neck feel compared to a wooden one, is it neck heavy, does it affect the sound?

Yes it definitely effects the sound as the neck vibrates differently than wood! The neck is heavy as compared to wood, this one has a slim D shape to it! I got this 2nd hand and whomever built this new whats they were doing. Action is low and the intonation is tight.

I really like the Kinnman pick ups, never heard of them before I got this guitar. Not too hot, not so single coil sounding still have that flat wound JM thing but a little hotter plus bridge and neck blend beautifully!
