Thanks! Great suggestions.

I might order a low capacitance cable, but - for a number of reasons - I need to assume a "normal" cable of between 3 and 6m for this particular guitar.

I'll certainly try, say, a 1.5nF cap.

Now I just need to clear up the PU ring colour issue and I'm ready to order. On the "L600 options & characteristics" thread it mentions black or cream rings, but I get the impression that this information is out of date, as it also refers to black/cream/zebra PU tops, while the website clearly states that all tops are now black.

Cheers,

Simon
