You know, this demonstrates something I notice over and over with peoples's demo videos on this forum. You really only need a vintage guitar to get a good tone if you want a vintage guitar; there are...

Slaman Super 400 with CC pickup

Thread derailing ahead! :cool: When Pat bought his ES-175, it had only a neck pickup (ES-175, not an ES-175D). In high school woodshop, he cut a hole to add a bridge pickup and holes for a...
