Love this guitar! Everyone likes pics, right? This guitar is nearly all original except for a refret with EVO Gold fret wire and supposedly the pickups have been potted to reduce feedback prior to my ownership.

I have not played a guitar with the same pickups other than this one so I don't have much to compare too. With that said, I firmly believe these are some of the best pickups I've heard in any electric I've played.
