I'm curious anybody swapped the Seymour Duncan pups that come with the NS ITB/Black Bluesbird for some DeA gold tones? Any measurement issues? Easy to do?Worth the trouble?Forget it?Sacrilegious? Tell me please...
NS Bluesbird with Dearmond Gold tone pups?

LeFin, have wondered similar things - haven't compared them with much but thus far I
like the way the DeArmond USA Gold Tones sound, and I find them
aesthetically pleasing as well. The pickups in an MIK Bluesbird I have sound pretty good too though.
Guitar in the photo is a DeArmond M72, it may be my favorite out of the various Bluesbird-ish
guitars DeArmond offered.

Very nice indeed!! M-72s are supposed to be chambered,so lighter than m-75s? Is that veneer on top? Gorgeous! They are a rare-bird in France,never seen one used for sale....

LeFin, I believe it's just a veneer top, and it's not carved like the M75-77s.
Yes, lighter and thinner than the M75-77s, and if the market is any indication,
and from my own observations, somewhat less common in the US than those models
or the entry-level set-neck M70s. Agreed, it's a handsome guitar

I’m a big fan of the Gold Tone PU’s; I think the swap is a great idea.
