I picked this up a bit ago, but thought I’d post photos as it’s a less common set up. It’s an 80s guitar without the common parts that seem dated today- the pointy headstock and the tremolo. I paid a bit more than these go for sometimes at $525, but I wanted one without the tremolo and I’ve only seen a couple in my looking. Plus it matches my Pilot.
I bought this for its looks basically, but I’ve been surprised by these pickups. I’ve not played a lot of different electrics in my time, but found these to be delightfully bright and clean while taking drive and fuzz pedals well also.
One of the reasons I was intrigued by these was because I like my Pilot bass. I’ve written this elsewhere, but I assumed they were the same body until I received this one. The horns are definitely different, and made me curious about if the Pilot got the longer upper horn to change its balance, or if it was just a stylistic thing. Here are the almost-twins for direct comparison:
