Thanks for the welcome guys! RussB, The pick-ups in your Bluesbird has a little metal adapter to accommodate your standard pick-ups. You can use any pick-up you like...... Treem, Yes, this is the same guitar from Chris' Guitar. I can not get over how well this plays and sounds. I am in love.......and I'm a Tele guy. I might have to buy a Bluebird 90 down the road......
