I'm betting that there will be a version of the SF-III with the fake DeArmonds (like on the X-175 Special) introduced at NAMM in January. That would look great in black with the white-top pickups.
For me that is probably the sexiest new Electric guitar out right now.
I really like those pickups with that hollow body design too.
Do you have any pics of yours?
I owned a Black 2003 and a Newark Street. The Corona (2003) had a chunkier neck but I couldn't bond with the pups and didn't feel like changing them out. The NS had acceptable pups but the neck was a little too slender for my tastes.
