I like the way the '57 PAFs almost sound like P-90's and gradually by the time it's '59-'60 shows very little tonal resemblence with P-90's. Tend to like the earlier humbuckers over '59ers, but I can't afford either so I'll have to do with copies :P... Sweet guitar!
@lauriedepaurie The early PAFs were about as sweet as it gets, but there's nothing wrong with rocking a copy either. Gibson makes outstanding reissues. Thanks for checkin the video out!
@PAULisDEADMANnumber9 Thanks for the kind words. This guitar practically plays itself. I was playing through a Dunlop Hendrix Fuzz Face into a Vox Handwired AC30, and it was mic'd up with a Sure SM57.
man, the reissues still don't come close... at all.

@chicagomusicexchange or you can get a tokai or greco for under a grand that will sound better than just about anything on the rack from gibson
