john ashfield Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 I've usually played Rickenbackers, then Casino's and then I saw this SG Faded on craigslist. I LOVE IT! But... I think the pickups are a little hot. I'd like it to be able to clean up a little more. I was thinking of putting a pair of '57 classics in... any advice here?

I think the rhythm pickup sounds fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
