This guitar has been modified with the incredible Seymour Duncan BG 1400 ( stacked humbucker) in the bridge position , middle position pickup not hooked up, neck pickup is a brand new Gibson 490r ( misplaced the box for it so it's not in the picture ) the pots and pick up selector( 3way) and output Jack have been upgraded to brand new switchcraft components . Custom installation and set up done by Dan Allen luthier Clovis california. Get your Billy Gibbons on with this ridiculous combination, super versatile ! This beautiful guitar is a super fun instrument to play. Super high quality Korean made Samick Artist Series, so their highest quality version, which comes straight from the Samick Factory in Korea . The same place where all of the Epiphone Les Paul Customs were manufactured until Gibson built their own Factory in China. Not to mention all the other high end manufacturers they produce for . So be thinking incredible high quality in fact if you look closely at the picture of the back of the neck you'll see that there is no scarf joint and it is a one-piece Hard Rock Maple neck as well as look at the back of the body you can see the two Wings about 2 to 2 and 1/2 in each on the left and right side of the main piece of the body so you've got this super wide piece in the middle basically giving you which is just about equivalent to a one piece guitar body. A super big piece in the Middle with two little wings on the side causing Superior resonance and tonal quality . It's old school and strung through the top which also adds to its resonance. You might think that's counterintuitive but the guitar really has a super singing quality to it when played acoustically . It's got a couple of band signatures one of them supposedly from Kentucky HeadHunters and one of them looks like maybe he was unfriended and the guy tried to erase his name maybe LOL . As seen in the pictures the guitar has a ding on the back by the output Jack where someone dropped it no damage to anything except some wood . Dude I tried to show the top on this because it's got a beautiful corduroy with tons of depth . If you'd like a rocking Telecaster you found the right one! don't let it slip by.
