I love my Danger Burst. I play it daily...
I guess the guy on FB today truly did not like your 'official CC video' & webpage I referenced him to. :jimI had a CC run of 8-7049. The CC guitars are so far from the original as to make the exercise pointless. The only thing even remotely "right" is the colour.
I have been meaning to ask you in your CC Donna , the one that took so long for you to get (the one in the photo in this thread ) , what pickups are you using in her ? Some Vintage PAF's ?
Edwin loaded my Donnas with special sets he wound. He did this as a favor to me, and I only found out afterwards. And they sound killer.
I never even consider putting vintage PAFs in a modern guitar. That's because I see no need for it.
Unless the rest of the body etc. is trashed and the only salvageable parts are the pups? Hmmmm!:hmm Maybe I would but it would have to be a one time shot on a very good candidate Paul!eace2
I would save them for restoration.
There are many fine pickups. I don't need to put PAFs in other guitars.
Besides playing PAF equipped Les Pauls, I more often play guitars with other pickups. For over 30 years my main player has Duncan Alnico 2's [cream bobbins]. I also play guitars with Gibson Custombuckers, Thro-Backs, Wolftones, and Rio Grande. They all sound fine and I don't wonder "what if". :2cool
Thanks for the info and I bet they sound killer ! Surprises like that are awesome !Edwin loaded my Donnas with special sets he wound. He did this as a favor to me, and I only found out afterwards. And they sound killer.

+1!I have two of them: A Nicky and a Happy Jack.
Couldn`t be more happy with both of them. Feels like christmas every time i open the case and play them . I have compared them to a load of other Gibson`s including the 60th anniversary, which i find very appealing too. I would buy these 2 guitars again in a heartbeat. They are a definite upgrade with regard to tone, feel and aesthetics to what i had earlier on and i am sure JD Simo didn`t exaggerate with his appraisal of the Nicky. :salude
