Default Modded 5120

I just finished modding my 5120 a couple of days ago, I replaced the neck pickup with a black gibson p90 (dogear), and repaced the bridge pickup with a Dynasonic. And I changed the stock silver pickguard to a clear one, now my 5120 looks and plays alot better. See atached pic:

Nicely done! I like that Gig P-90. So know that you've played it how do you like the match with the Dsonic?

I like it a lot, it's a little crunchier than the dynasonic so it's good for rythm-parts

It's great, really. It gives a nice edge to the generalyl clean tone of the dynasonic, however it is slightly louder than the dyna so you have to turn the P90 down a notch (well you don't have to, obviously).
