well i finally took the 100 mile ride, seeing that i need a setup badly, the nut is so high joe perry could stick a cig in the first fret, i brought it to an old world craftsman, mike costa, he does all joe bonamassa's guitars, he instantly noticed the pickup ring screws were black or dark,,,,, all the pics i see it looks like a standard?? my guitar also has no pick guard or mounting holes, i don't see that much at all, just curious, thanks boys,,,,, paul

Hey Hammerboogie, I heard Joe B lives in Athens Georgia, or at least has a big house there. Can you validate that with Mike Costa? Thanks, Will

yeah idk I'm sure he's upgraded from utica, its an old school italian community,I'm sure everyone knows where the biggest fish is at,,, i think it was his first heritage he saw so we were kinda on one subject! paul and yes hammerhead loves the heritage i only let him lick the lp studio,,,,

I couldn't believe the difference between a good setup and professional setup. The latter makes a guitar a fine, precision, fun to play tool. Enjoy!
