Yippee! Now the interminable wait for UPS to deliver it.
 
Yes I see the round pickup selector. Should mean no more banged up fingers when I get a little over exuberant with my slapping.  
 
Thanks for the congrats and compliments folks.

I just noticed the wood patterns by the neck pickup and between the bridge and tailpiece almost look like deliberate design choices rather than pure serendipity. Beautiful!

More birds? You got it!
