1961 Melody Maker Epiphone Coronet stock then lollar P-90

1961 Epiphone Coronet aka Gibson Melody Maker. First with stock pickup which reads pretty high for these at 7.96 then I threw in the Lollar 8.7 replacement and pre wired guard which is very easy. Both sound great to me. The original has a little more vintage clean chime on the high end the Lollar is fatter thicker sounding. This guitar already has a repaired headstock so its not mint and ok to swap pickups. These are great guitars and have a little more sg type snap than a thicker junior or special which is not a bad thing imo. Very lightweight to. It has a horrible badass on it right now so Im going to order a pigtail non intonatable 50's bridge. Baron Custom Amps MII60 amp with ISP Decimator a must with P-90's and gain. Zoom Q3 is clipping on high gain setting but would have been too low volume on low gain.

Thanks. I think the Lollar is an improvement.
