Thnxz Han! 🤗

Jazeker Han. Lang geleden alweer he? 😏

ja, moeilijk idd. Ik geloof dat hij (Wim Staman) ook voor TFOA werkt, dus daar kan je misschien meer te weten komen ... ;-)

@@hanselmers thanks!!

My pleasure Scott, thnx for your kind comments!

Oei, dat is lang geleden dat ik dat heb ingespeeld .... ;-)

Mooie muziek is nou eenmaal tijdloos

Thnx! 🙃 the pickups are all original as is the whole guitar, except for the saddles, which are replaced bij Highwood saddles to protect the hand. Still have the guitar, very fine instrument.

Yes they are. I think the bridge is the heavy version indeed, but after this time I'm not entirely shure 'bout that. I now use them in my Eastman SB59/V.

@@hanselmers whats your long term review of these pickups ? Their pros & cons ? sounds good !

@@anfasup3160 I sold this guitar. Now I mostly play Eastman. In my Eastman SB59 I choose Apollo pickups (handmade in the Netherlands) over de P90 buckers. They are a bit more open sounding en low output (bit Paul Kossoff like ...)

@ thanks, which apollo model ? The pearlbucker ?

@@anfasup3160 yes, that's the one. Play them for years now, still happy, so I highly recommend them ;-)

Thnx man! I just replaced the pickups, so the pots and wiring are normal prs (500K). I used a simple setup for this: a Tech21 Trademark 60 on the clean channel (which is one of the best transistoramps around) with a Flyrig 5 in a little breakup overdrive and a Mxr chorus. Really simple, so the guitar can react on what you're playing .... ;-) Cheerzz!

@@hanselmers i have the same guitar, single cut vintage yellow 2001 it s time to swap pickups ! Very impressed by this Tech21 Thks for posting 👍

I thought the stock pick-ups are d|Marzio (at least on the 900 series), but I'm not sure ... I don't think they need upgrading though, just a good amp ... ;-) Cheerz!

They are Yamaha wired pickups on the 97 Pacifica 412. 👍🏼 I have the 412v

Well that's a problem these days. There are rare. Keep your eyes on ebay. Look for the Tradition, the Stage is the cheap version (still not bad at all by the way ...)

Thnx! ;-)

Een iets hoger fretje en minder gewicht zou ideaal zijn .... ;-)

Probeer eens een Washburn J-9 Washington. Die is hol.

Thnx, dan ben ik abuis daarmee.

Het handgeschreven serienummer lezen vormt het grootste probleem. Die vent had een vreselijke hanepoot. Voor het eerste cijfer moet je 199 denken. Het tweede en derde cijfer vormen de maand en liggen dus altijd tussen 01 en 12. De rest is productienummer.

the body is full wood, not laminated

Thnx Rick! Seth Lovers are also beautifull, but they give a bit more "nose" to the sound (as I call it ... ;-)

@@hanselmers I put Seth Lovers in an Elite Strat and loved them. On Seymour Duncan website, the sonic difference is listed as a slightly more pronounced treble frequency than the antiquity. I like the idea of "new" PAF style pickups because the musicians who were my heroes in the 60s and 70s were not using aged pickups.

I sold the guitar while ago, but in my memory it was solid ... it sure sounded good ;-) .. low frets, long scale, so more a chord or riff guitar then a solo/bending one in my opinion, although everthing is of a subjective matter ofcourse ....

I had an original SG500 from the 70's.. It was sweet

@@groovymoon Hi i envy you deeply. Unfortunately the re-issues of the SG model are very expensive. I really do not understand why Yamaha has changed the amazing SG shape for the Revstar series There is one characteristic of beauty that is symmetry The Revstar body is asymmetrical and so much less nicer than the SG body. It seems like beauty must be reserved only to the rich people ? I was even thinking about buying a Revstar and take it to a carpenter to make it symmetrical Also because speaking of tone i have the strong feeling that with modern profiling amps almost any tone can be simulated ? they are digital monster indeed Thanks a lot again, gino

Pretty sure they do

@@MountainBlade hi I know that There are new editions of the SG series But the price is very high indeed 3kUSD is a lot Strangely Chinese don't clone them like they do with Les Paul guitars

Yes, there's a happy buyer ;-) ... you can spray them or replace them. To be able to put them in again, best attache a chord to the shaft of the pot and let the chord through the hole remain outside, so you can pull the pot gently back after treating. Suc6!

@@hanselmers Thanks Hans, I'll give it to the guy in the shop. They are beautiful guitars.
