Progress: those nasty EMGs are GONE and being replaced with a SD ‘59/SH-EVH Combo...EVH is the “Frankenstein” based on what Seller stated it reads out at - 14.3k. Also threw on Black Grover Tuners in place of stock Gibson/Kluson Deluxe and have a Gibson TP-6 Fine Tuning Tailpiece that will be adorning it as well.
