I would definitely get rid of the stock pickups and "metal" it up a bit, my friend started playing his and I almost died... (in a good way) He has a 59(N) and a Hot Rails for neck and it sounds perfect.
so yeah... what are you gassing for?

well congrats! I am pretty pleased but I am sort of a collector so...
so epi
you said it had a 59 neck and a hot rails
but which one is where again, I got confused
what? It has a full sized humbucker 59 in the neck and a Hot Rails in the bridge.
that is clear now
thanks
