Very very well, this is my first Thumb, i had heard in the past people were complaining of alot of Neck Dive, but this one balances perfectly on my lap and when i stand with no dive at all.

Both with Schaller machine heads - I had a Thumb Custom built for me in '90 and it came with gotohs (which are fine!) but I was upset that it did not have Schallers!!! Sad eh?

Yeah the Schallers are lovelly, i never ever have to tune my Stage II up it just stays put constantly, I'm expecting the same with my new Thumb as the tuners are a lot stiffer on this model.
