Comments: I think the employees of Gibson are great! I think management is a bunch of shiftless, jive hoo-dads who should sell the Company to some one who cares.
So, what the heck happens? They put out these PAF plus pickups that sound almost identical to the real deal. Folks, if you own any Gibson guitar with those crappy PAF reissues, ditch the suckers and put these in. I guarantee that you won t be disappointed!
Your guitar will suddenly sound like it lost that head cold its had since day one. Have you ever wondered why new Gibson guitars sound like they ruined their noses snorting cheap meth? Real Gibsons go eeddle-eeddle-eeddle...., the new ones theeddle-theeddle-theeddle! I hate that sound!
Sorry, getting just a bit carried away. Seriously, they ll stop selling these suckers or change them just as soon as they find out how good they are! And, they re pretty cheap too.
I don t get it. These are from the same weenies that brought you the Hysterical Collection guitars that are just like the URK GAG originals!
