well i recieved it yesterday from the ups guys. the originl pickups were dearmond special design pickups (the neck still is). the only reason the brdige pickup got replaced is because it wasn't making sound. at first we thought it was the toggle, but it wasn't. i think the correct term might be that it was microphonic (i know it's a tubes term but i think it works here as well). so they routed it for a humbucker and put a used gibby in there for free! 8) . it is the best guitar i've played in my life, period. it smokes all the gibbies and all the prs's (se) and the fenders etc i've played. the sound is perfect for me. the hum gives somewhere along the lines of acdc zeppelin area (as close as you can get with 6l6's). the bridge pickup clean with the tone on 8 or 5 ish gives a perfect blues sound (think b.b. king). the middle position is perfect for pretty much anything (not metal). it just depends on how you adjust the tone and volume controls. each pickup has a seperate vol and tone control. and putting one pickups vol higher than the other ones really makes the higher one stand out. the lower just adds more of a balancing type thing. channel 3 is totally unusable because of the high level of saturation and gain invloved. when you're not playing you get a nice big high pitched screech of feedback. this guitar is peferct for me. it costed me $75 because half the headstock fell off due to aging and that they glued half of it on.
let's see if you can guess what brand and model it is (i'll give a hint: it's 60's and budget, semi-hollow and came with de-armond special design p'ups. it was $75 and it's not harmony)
PICS!!
