...and it doesn't compare to my Musicman Silhouette. I'm going to replace the pick-ups in my new Epiphone Les Paul Standard. Unlike most buyers I was aware of the pick-up problem before I bought the guitar. Eventually I will replace the tuners with Sperzel locking tuners. Otherwise I think this guitar is good- I like the look and the tune-o-matic bridge. The sound is bassy and dissident.
