The Deluxe has Seymour Duncan Antiquity Retrospec'd (Unpotted). They sound wonderful to me. Airy and open sounding with plenty of chime on the highs (no harshness) and great articulation. I'm very impressed with these pickups.They're very impressive looking bits of gear. The HBs nice?
Do I need another humbucker guitar? This is a dangerous place to hang out.
