Just had to get it!

Quasi, 70s era Flying V. Bought a demo model. The setup was near perfect, as well as the nut and fretwork..

Believe it or not, but the pickups are great. Really haven't done anything but add speed knobs, and different strings.

It's a keeper!

At least they're not the 500t/496r ceramic combos that most have. They are hot, but they're A5 based...and sound way better then those awful Burstbuckers. They're unique and sound great!
Excellent! Congratulations on the new V!

nice!

are they dirty fingers?
Usually says dirty fingers on the pickup face if they are so assuming not but interested to hear what they are.
Dirty fingers are my favourite pickups from when I had a Tom delonge es333 epiphone.

Sweet guitar tho. Looks real classy and awesome!

They're not. They are Alnico 5 based pickups...but not BB pros either... They are pretty hot too...
