I really like my new guitar

Normally I associate Humbucker cleans with very warm, kinda dark tones that are good for Chorus.
But the Sheena has incredible cleans without any effects. It has this really nice Chimey effect.

The Bridge is actually good for cleans too... normally I don't like bridge cleans.
My Sheena has a 2HB configuration. The neck humbucker is set a little bit lower than the bridge.
I really like the humbucker in the neck position as it does get those nice chimey sounds. The single coil that normally comes with the Sheena is very low output. Really I have my Tele for single coil cleans. It's hard to beat the Fatbody neck pickup.
I may consider swapping out the neck for a P90 which should be similar in tone... as I can get a lot of the "Chimey" cleans from the bridge too. But as it is I really like it.
