The middle and neck pickups are uniquely calibrated from string to string for enhanced solo work, while the flat-pole bridge pickup delivers a powerful toneful punch. Each pickup is individually hand wound and potted with secret “Custom Shop sauce” to curb microphonics while preserving an open yet focused tone.  By moving the selector switch, players can unlock throaty Ancho Poblano tone while taking their output from warm (in the neck position) to scorching hot (in the bridge position).  Unlike the neck and middle pickups, which feature custom staggered alnico 3 pole pieces, the bridge pickup also sports flush-mount alnico 5 pole pieces for plenty of quack in the second position.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eWe also went with the Vintage Modified # 2 wiring setup.  This features a master volume, tone # 1 (neck \u0026amp; middle pickups), and tone # 2 (bridge) with treble bleed (for keeping mids and rolling off highs without adding bass).  This guitar sounds downright amazing.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThe chosen color for this one was Faded Aged Surf Green - this \"tames down\" the brightness of the green, and recreates the look of a guitar whose finish has been fading slowly and aging over the decades.  The result is sublime.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003cbr\u003eOther features include a Custom Shop vintage-style synchronized tremolo, vintage-style tuning machines, bone nut and clay dots for an authentic vintage vibe.
