Okay, so I'm not sure how to describe these pickups. Other than saying they are A LOT DIFFERENT than the Guilds and Seymour Duncans in my other guitars. Kinda twangy and a bit wimpy. It'll take some playing around for awhile to get a handle on what I can do with these.
Anyway, the S-73 showed up today and it's in quite good shape: has one scuff on the headstock but other than that no real blemishes; one of the knobs is missing the DeArmond logo; and the frets are pretty worn. However, the frets were never done properly to begin with anyway so I'll be learning how to work on 'em (this was intended to be sort of a project/learn-by-doing sort of guitar) or else continue to snag my left hand on the edges of the frets (ouch).
All in all, I'm quite happy with my $275 guitar (including a case and shipping! - let's all watch and see what that one on Ebay goes for - sans case).
These are the pics if anyone wants to look. Enjoy!
They're multiplying.
BTW: Danerectal -- that Strat/Tele case I had that we talked about didn't hold the S-90 so well. I think this cheap-o case the DeArmond came in will, so the S-90 may have found a new home and the D will have to go into the crappy original S-90 case.
