Anyone else gigging a Pearly?

It took a little while to dial the pickups in, but I think I'm sorted. I found I needed them a bit lower than my usual settings, but I've now got a great woody bark to the bridge and a really flutey neck.

I'm loving mine live:

Re: Anyone else gigging a Pearly?

Do you transport her in a flight case? Are you gigging around Manchester?

Might have missed your thread, but have you got any nice close ups of your PG?

I took her out in her Historic case, it's only very occasional gigs I use her for in the general Manchester area. I'd be gutted if she got damaged!

Here's a couple of pics:

Matt Grondin sat in with Gov't Mule at wanee a couple of weeks ago. His looked like a pearly, but I couldn't tell for sure. Either way, it had an amazing top on it. I believe that some pics have been posted on Mule's website.
