The store had it advertised as a SC but the electronics are Distillate. I don't have to change my forum name.

Nice! That's a Deluxe Distillate with the the back laminate :-) (If it had signature electronics it would be signature deluxe with the back lam and Purpleheart in the neck)

That's beautiful.  I love the birdseye.  How is the scale working out for you?

Well. I need to get used to the extra tones. I used it in band practice tonight. It took then a couple double takes to realize it wasn't the single pickup Distillate. Thanks to all the comments.

Love it! What's the scale length?
I'm not sure exactely. I have a metric tape ruler. From what part do I measure? The nut to the bridge or the end of the neck? I know it's shorter than the one pickup distillate.

Measure from the nut till the 12th fret and double that. In MM I guess it will be about 390,5 mm (x2 = 781mm) which would be short scale.

390,5. Short scale it is. Good thing. I just ordered a set of CX-3/45s from the Shibuya Ikeba shop. I think it had D'Adarios on it. I changed those to some older Rotosound 66 that I pulled off my Yamaha Motion B. I like them but I worry about fret wear.

I put the Alembic strings on. I like how the blue wrap lines up.
