There are two types of this guitar currently available; a red one with P90's and this blue one with humbuckers. I have both! Although the are in it's base the same guitar in terms of construction, the difference between the P90's and humbuckers is really night and day. The red one is more clean but also more mellow. This blue one with the humbuckers has more meat to the tone while still being able to have a really cleanish tone thanks to the same great hollow body construction. As with all these guitars, the finish is excellent and the fretwork is nice. You have to spent quite some time in order to have it set up perfectly, have the nut cut correctly etc. You have to consider the price of this guitar along with it ofcourse. The pickups are fine. I must confess that I have two of these blue ones and I have exchanged the pickups in one of them for Seymour Duncan jazz and custom custom pickups. It enhances the guitar's basic tone but when compared to the wilkinson pickups the guitars comes equipped with, the change in tone isn't that spectacular. So this is a big complement towards this guitar straight out of the box!
