The pickups are similar to the same as the axis pickups but with metal covers. From the MM site "HH - 2 DiMarzio custom humbucking with chrome cover and Music Man pickup rings"

I probably should not have called the neck "massive", lottsa baseball bat lovers out there. I have been playing my Axis and JP alot lately, as such, it immediately felt different/larger. I just got out my 20th Silo and I would say its close in size to that.

less relief / flatter = lower action
more relief / bow = higher action
do NOT use cheap tools to adjust with. they might break and scrape up your guitar...

When I played one, the neck felt very much like a Silhouette Special. Same size and feel. The 25ths are really something special.
