"At first look, that is gorgeous, but too fancy for my tastes. Then I see the tone and volume knobs. Ha! They are just right and balance out the fancy. Good one, man. Gorgeous in a keep and play way."

- Hi, haven't been to my page in a long time, just saw your post. I don't have a real shop, just my workbench in the basement and power tools in garage. I'm just outside the village, where are you at?

Hi Blues Frog , just enjoyed watching your videos. You don't see many people using full size humbuckers. I have a pair of 'em from a Satellite Les Paul I broke in 1986 ! Is there a reason they're not used much? Sure sounds good on your CBG .

I couldn't just leave them there! There's too much potential.
What do you think?…
