Gianluca Posted January 26, 2020 Posted January 26, 2020 nice find, it's lovely I benevolently envy you Fred ? (the pros of living in the right place) enjoy it
Spectrum13 Posted January 26, 2020 Posted January 26, 2020 That's a honey of a 150. I would change the bridge for aesthetic reasons.

I was dying to try another set of boutique pickups, which frankly, weren't any better than the Seths! I think you should dump the Schaller bridge though and get a proper ABR Fred as just the aesthetics alone, with that killer top, would make it worth it, and I wouldn't doubt it would change the sound for the better (as I've posted here many times before, I like The Faber tone-loc with the deeper german steel body inserts that take about 5 minutes to install)... https://faberusa.com/product-category/faber-tone-lock/master-kit/heritage/

pressure Posted January 28, 2020 Posted January 28, 2020 When in doubt ask Kuz. I have the Goldtop with ThroBak humbuckers he sold when you bought his p90 Goldtop. I believe he put Faber parts on both of them.
