While that might sound sad at first, these guitars are quite nice on their own so it can make them affordable golden-era pieces for players without original P90s or PAFs. I was quite surprised how nice this one sounded with boutique pickups. This guitar is in on consignment at Jam City Guitars and Jim was kind enough to let me borrow it to make this fun video. He didn't part this one out.
