i kinda bought it on a whim and kinda had mixed feelings before it got here, i was considering buying the full face pickguard to swap and then i got it, i dont think ill modify it at all, its beautiful, the sound is very fat and heavy, i was hooked on my 57 pickups but the burstbuckers honestly sound better. sounds like a les paul with none of the heavy weight and a fraction of the cost, i didnt think id like it as much as i do. videos and online pictures dont do it justice, grab em while you can. i usually play SGs and Strats.
