Re: Favorite Seymour Duncan loaded axes you have!
4 out of 6 of mine are Seymour Duncan Equipped!!!

3. 1991 Gibson M-II Standard - I've owned three of these and never bonded with them, this one plays great, sounds great and does not go out of tune, First Year Production, Modified - Pickguard removed, body refinished in “Battle Worn Black”, Early 90’s Seymour Duncan Lidia Daniel Jazz JNL/Early 90s Classic Stack/JB TB4L in black plastic mounting rings, 5 Way Strat Selector/Mini Toggle/Volume/Tone .22 Orange Oil In Paper Cylinder Capacitor, “Gibson” Logo Tuners, Maple Fretboard w/Abalone Arrowhead Inlays, Recessed “Gibson” Schaller Made In Germany Floyd with Collared Arm, Custom “Day of The Dead” Truss Rod Cover, Q Parts Skull Vol/Tone Knobs, Schaller Straplocks/“Buddy Guy ‘08” Autographed Black & White Polka Dot Strap
4. 1998 Squier Venus - At one point in approx. 2000 I picked up a Sunburst Venus, Black Venus and 2 Fiesta Red Jag-Stangs. The Black Venus was the only one I kept and gave to my Daughter.
The Squier Vista Series Venus offered:
- Quality Craftsmanship "Crafted In Japan"
- Bound Fingerboard with Fully Bound 12" Radius Fretboard and Jumbo Frets
- Discontinued ('98 only) "seafoam green"
- Tune-O-Matic Bridge with String-Through Body Design
- Versatile Sonically - with only Volume/3 Way Selector Toggle Switch
I recently pulled it out of the case since my Daughter is away at college and I always enjoyed playing the damn thing so much. I really like it for an inexpensive unusual guitar along the same lines as any Fender Offset Guitar; Jaguar, Jazz-Master, Jag-Stang, etcetera.
I wasn't happy with the SD APS-1/Pearly Gates Trembucker so I swapped them out for a SD Antiquity Strat/'59 Trembucker, installed a new CTS 500k Volume and added a Fender TBX Tone, and, swapped the White Vol/Tone Knobs and Selector Switch Tip to Black as I think it looks much better with the "Tuxedo Black" Treatment. Set up with .10-.46 Strings. Now it also sounds MUCH better with the changes.

It's great fun to play, and its bridge voice with the '59/Custom is pure rock 'n roll.
