Yeah I know, that was pretty obvious from the off
After years with a (well, a couple) of CIJ jazzmasters, it just felt great straight off the bat. Put some curtis novaks in (I prefer low output pickups) and shielded the cavity and it was 10 times better than my CIJs ever were, though that is playing indie/rock/shoegaze/post rock, some of the jazzmaster tone isn't there (though it isn't really there with the CIJs anyhow) so I wouldn't recommend for surf enthusiasts, but the already-shimmed neck, better break angle and 9.5 inch radius all get a big thumbs up from me. Build was top notch, as anyone who has owned any other classic player guitars can tell you: they're a step up from the 'standards', which themselves aint bad. The pickups are cool if you like them a little hot: theyre on a par with texas specials or SD 'hot for jazzmasters' so no uber-high output, just not vintage style. After a good shielding job, the CP had no issues whatsoever. Its the kind of guitar which makes the whole 'how do I mod my CIJ so I can sound like *insert rock guitarist here* when he plays his' series of threads obsolete. Fender listened, for a change.
