I play blues, old rock'n'roll, SURF, smooth jazz, classic country... It's quiet and has the PERFECT blend of smooth creamy upper mids, a breath of fresh air from the thin and jangly bridge pickup that was on my Strat... I've played well over 10,000 gigs in 54+ years, and TONE and RESPONSE are everything. I'm getting her pinstriped this weekend ! Nice job, David....
