Upgraded SE 594 goes kaboom!

Okay guys, just a brief comparison and disclosure. The custom buckers do marginally shade the 57/08’s in clarity. Less muddy and every string can be heard clearly. They’re hotter too.

However, I value the guitars infinitely more than the pickups. It’s like the guitar is Queen, the music originator, the songwriter, the original live Freddie flair, while the pickup is a tribute band.

A tribute band is the only way to enjoy a Queen live performance, but without Queen, there is no tribute band.

Perhaps the custom bucker is a darn near perfect tribute band, who knows. While I do wish both guitars had the same clarity, the guitars remain the guitars, and I’m happy with the variety! My tinkering is done!

Not on an SE. Note there is no figuring on the natural maple edge. That’s a flame maple veneer over a plain maple top.
Yup I know that. In my heart I still perceive them as exquisite tops.
