I finally got this project a little farther along. New 8515s, locking bridge posts, new vol pot and new rosewood back plate. I gigged with this Saturday night and so far these pickups sound fantastic and has really transformed this guitar into something that I really desire to play. I don't get a 5909 type vibe from these but a hint of LP. I used it for 2 sets and will use it for our next gig before I really decide how I fell about them but for now I say KEEPERS!
