I use it with a sessionette 75 and can get all the rockabilly ,blues, gretsch typoe tones here , neck pickup nice and jazzy , bridge plenty of bite and full, together sounds a dream !
"Sleepwalk" santo & johnny is just like the record !played on this
No dislikes at all very high qualoty would NOT change the pickups as they sound awsome. Have also tried it with a peavey classic 30 and it rocks !
