EGC aluminium bolt on neck + Warmoth black limba Regal body. Pickups are BKP Impulse and Dimarzio PAF Pro.
A friend helped me with drilling and soldering. The tone knobs are dummies, just 2 vol controls and a 3 way toggle. However once we wired the toggle in, it seems to pick up more interference than when I only had the bridge pickup straight to the jack. Might swap to Lynch wiring (1x push pull vol pot to control pickup switching), so the signal won't have to travel across the body and back.
It's not as crazily resonant as my full aluminium EGC, which actually made it more balanced sounding for regular metal genres (ie the stuff that aren't post/sludge/doom metal). But there's still plenty of the aluminium 3D-ness and still exceeds all-wood guitars in the resonance department.
The BKP Impulse is a nice surprise being a Northlane sig model. I haven't heard a full Northlane song but the descriptions seemed good on paper. Basically it has a relatively flat/even midrange, without a honk in a certain narrow range of the mids, which made it gel fairly well with all my amps regardless of where the mid emphasis sits in the amp voicing.
