I greatly dislike single-coil pup mounting rings, massive eyesores. Interesting piece of wood, but I don't care for the profile, which is overall nicer than that horrible mounting ring on the neck pup.
I haven't looked at Cardinal Guitars in nearly a decade, I loved the West models when he uses reclaimed/local wood with custom pickups. Not to keen on the over-the-counter Tele hardware and PU's.
