Few questions about a '00 custom 22

I replied to your post on TGP. That guitar looks to be a really good deal.

You should have posted the second photo as well ;-). Looks very good!

Bring your best sounding guitar to compare it too.

And listen to the new guitar both unplugged and plugged in.

See how it rings and vibrates and sustains.

Dragon 2 neck pickups is killer !!!!
Bridge is kinda in between not as hot as the HFS but hotter than a 59/09
I got it to work OK for me by running it really low.

Neck Dragon II is a very good pickup! I've heard Paul say that it's similar to to a '59 Gibson PAF and suspect it's the same pickup as the Dragon I neck pickup, but with a nickel cover added.

Maybe the magnets are different. Alnico 4 vs. Alnico 5. Or maybe they're not.

In theory, two neck Dragon I or II neck pickups should be good for a vintage '59 Gibson PAF tone - although I've never done that.

Gibson didn't calibrate pickups for neck or bridge position in the 50's and 60's.
