Thanks for the kind words, but I'm positive. The ergonomics just don't work for me as a pick player - that top edge was cutting into the inside of my right arm within seconds, and the pickup sounds are just...well, they're not what I like to hear. Not for me, and far too expensive to have hanging around in the hope that I might somehow change my mind. Ho hum.

Jeez that's a blow Muzz, real sorry for you, especially with the birthday treat thing. BUT don't act too much in haste. Why not see if you can get a try on a 4004? More all round sound, better ergonomics for the wrist especially but still undeniably look a Rick.
You may be able to get a trade if you find the 4004 more to your taste. Think Reidys may have one in, possibly PMT?
Good luck.
